We hope you can join us for the third installment of our Campaigning with Grant series!  This year, Grant arrives in Virginia with the new rank of lieutenant general and the title of general-in-chief. Grant decides to make his headquarters with George Meade’s Army of the Potomac and plans a campaign to move against Richmond and an inevitable clash with Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia.  Confederate logistics preclude going on the operational offensive, but the Army of Northern Virginia still possesses power as a counter-puncher.The Union army’s progress toward Richmond is a bloody one. In forty days, the armies meet numerous times in a series of drawn battles. After each engagement, Grant and Meade sidle to their left, southeast, in an attempt to outflank the Rebels, and each time Lee’s veterans are there to block them.  Eventually, the Federals run out of flanking room north of Richmond, leading to Grant’s bold decision to execute a crossing of the James and an attack against Petersburg.
