Richmond, Virginia
Civil War Richmond
National Battlefield Park
General McClellan's 1862 campaign brought the Union Army within sight of
Richmond, Virginia for the first time in the Civil War. The city might have
fallen but McClellan procrastinated, and, in a series of encounters known as the
Seven Days' Battles, confederate General Robert E. Lee drove the Federals back
to their James River base. During Grant's 1864 campaign, the Battle of Cold
Harbor cost the Federals 7,000 casualties in less than 30 minutes, but proved to
be Lee's last major victory in the field.
