Chapter 1: Ulysses Simpson Grant William Conant Church Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, United States Volunteers During the Wilderness campaign, 1864, when Grant lost an army but saved a nation. Grant on Lookout Mountain—1863 at the spot where hooker signaled victory the week before Wearing epaulets and a sword—quite umer. the eyes, first unveiled fully in this fourth view, are the unmistakable index to Grant's stern inflexibility, once his decision was made. In the autumn of 1864—after the strain of the Wilderness campaign here is a furrowed brow above eyes worn by pain. In the pictures of the previous year the forehead is more smooth,h. Sherman, who protested most vigorously against this hazardous movement, nevertheless later on applied the lesson it taught him when on his march to the sea, in 1864, he broke through the hollow shell of the Confederacy and closed it in from the South, while Grant advanced from the North, and crushed the armies of Lee and Johns<

he military student Lee's consummate feats of generalship were performed in the gloom of the Wilderness. On this ground he presented an always unbroken front against which Grant dashed his battalions in vain. Never were Lee's lines here broken; the assailants must always shift their ground to seek a fresh opportunity for assault. At this spot on the battlefield of the Wilderness the opposing forces lay within twenty-four feet of each other all night. The soldiers, too, had learned by this 1864 campaign to carry out orders with judgment of their own. The rank and file grew to be excellent connoisseurs of the merits of a position. If they only save a finger it will do some good, was General Longstreet's reply, when his engineer officers complained that their work on Marye's Hill was being spoiled by being built higher by the gunners of the Washington artillery—who had to fight behind them. For this reason the significance of the lines as shown in many war maps is often very puzzlin

Army Corps The armies of the United States were led in 1864-65 by two generals, to whom, more than to any other militara These two photographs of General Sherman were taken in 1864—the year that made him an international figure, before his es marches count as much as fighting. In the early part of 1864 he made his famous raid across Mississippi from Jackson to pi, in 1863; the campaigns in Georgia and the Carolinas, in 1864-65. During the first two years, he was making mistakes, geiate command of Sherman, carried to suchcess conclusion, in 1864-65, three campaigns—that against Atlanta, the store-house orces. But the contest was more unequal than it had been in 1864, and when Lee surrendered in Virginia, Johnston in North Caill exists in the communities over which Sherman marched in 1864-65, a feeling which does not exist against any other comman Sherman himself in the regions over which he fought before 1864. That Sherman himself did not intend to go beyond the li
