Our program...
The Battle of Cold Harbor
Fought from May 31 to June 12, 1864, was one of the bloodiest battles of Grant’s Overland Campaign. On June 3, Union forces launched a devastating frontal assault against Robert E. Lee’s heavily fortified Confederate positions, suffering thousands of casualties. After the stalemate, Grant maneuvered south across the James River toward Petersburg, continuing his relentless pressure on Lee and Richmond.
