From the Rapidan to Richmond and the Spottsylvania Campaign

Résumé du livre

From the Rapidan to Richmond and the Spottsylvania Campaign is a classic American Civil War biography by William Meade Dame and has the following chapters: Sketch of camp life the winter before the Spottsylvania campaign -- Battle of the Wilderness -- Battles of Spottsylvania Court House -- Cold harbor and the defense of Richmond. "The land where I was born" was, in my childhood, a great battleground. War--as we then thought the vastest of all wars, not only that had been, but that could ever be--swept over it. I never knew in those days a man who had not been in the war. So, "The War" was the main subject in every discussion and it was discussed with wonderful acumen.
