A propos de cet article

Very good. Verso repairs to centerfold separations. Exhibits light dampstaining in margins. Size 21.75 x 33 Inches. This is an 1867 John Weyss and Nathaniel Michler map of the battlefield of Cold Harbor, Virginia. The map depicts from the Virginia Central Railroad to Emanuel Church and Black Creek Church and from the Linney Farm to the Taylor Farm. The last battle of Union Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign, the Battle of Cold Harbor was a lopsided victory for General Robert E. Lee and the Confederacy, but it would prove to be his last. Grant had achieved the goal of the Overland Campaign and forced Lee into defending Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, and Petersburg behind a network of trenches and other fortifications. Soon after the Battle of Cold Harbor, the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, more popularly known as the Siege of Petersburg, began. This campaign was a nine-month saga of trench warfare and small battles, culminating in the capture of Petersburg and the evacuation of Richmond by the Confederate government. The Battle of Cold Harbor The Battle of Cold Harbor, which took place only ten miles from Richmond, is remembered as one of the bloodiest, most lopsided battles in American history. General Grant and the Union Army were trying to seize control of the crossroads at Cold Harbor, Virginia, which would have given them access to Richmond. After the initial success of the Union cavalry, Grant sent numerous infantry assaults against well entrenched Confederate lines. Lee's forces held off attacks by the numerically superior Federal army and inflicted egregious casualties, with some estimates calculating nearly 13,000 Union casualties compared with just over 5,000 Confederate losses. In his memoirs, General Grant stated that he had 'always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever madeNo advantage whatever was gained to compensate for the heavy loss we sustained.' Publication History and Census This map was surveyed and drawn by Major John E. Weyss under the command of Nathaniel Michler, engraved by Julius Bien, and published by the War Department in Military Maps illustrating the Operations of the Armies of the Potomac and James in 1869. While this map is well represented in institutional collections, it is rare to the private market. References: Rumsey 3881.008.…
