Buyenlarge Battle of The Wilderness - 16" X 24" Fine Art Giclee Print

The battle of the wilderness, fought may 5-7, 1864, was the first battle of Lt. Gen. Ulysses s. Grant's 1864 Virginia Overland campaign against Gen. Robert e. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, a harbinger of a Bloody War of attrition by Grant against Lee's Army and, eventually, the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued his offensive.
