Introduction Frederick Dent Grant, Major-General, United States Army
General Ulysses S. Grant at city Point in 1864, with his wife and son Jesse
Upon being appointed lieutenant-general, and having assumed command of all the armies in the field, in March, 1864, General Grant had an interview with President Lincoln, during which interview Mr. Lincoln stated that procrastination on the part of commanders, and the pressure from the people of the North and from Congress, had forced him into issuing his series of military orders, some of which he knew were wrong, and all of which may have been wrong; that all he, the President, wanted, or had ever wanted, was some one who would take the responsibility of action, and would call upon him, as the Executive of the Government, for such supplies as were needed; the President pledging himself to use the full powers of the Government in rendering all assistance possible.
General Grant assured the President that he would do the best

Drewry's bluff impregnable
In battery Dantzler--Confederate gun commanding the river after Butler's repulse on land
Butler's failed attempt to take Petersburg.
Charles Francis Adams, who, as a cavalry officer, served in Butler's campaign, compares Grant's maneuvers of 1864 to Napoleon's of 1815.
While Napoleon advanced upon Wellington it was essential that Grouchy should detain Blucher.
So Butler was to eliminate Beauregard while Grant struck at Lee. With forty thousand men, he was ordered to land at Bermuda Hundred, seize and hold City Point as a future army base, and advance upon Richmond by way of Petersburg, while Grant meanwhile engaged Lee farther north.
Arriving at Broadway Landing, seen in the lower picture, Butler put his army over the Appomattox on pontoons, occupied City Point, May 4th, and advanced within three miles of Petersburg, May 9th.
The city might have been easily taken by a vigorous move, but Butler delayed until Beauregard arrived with a

Charleston, the uncaptured port
Confederate garrison cooking dinner in ruined Sumter--1864
Fort Sumter in 1864.
The story of how these photographs in unconquered Sumter were secured is a romance in itself.
No one, North or South, can escape a thrill at the knowledge that several of them were actually taken in the beleaguered port by George S. Cook, the Confederate photographer.
This adventurous spirit was one of the enterprising and daring artists who are now and then fo he photographer, Cook, managed to get his supplies past the Federal army on one side and the Federal blockading fleet on the other.
Yet there he remained at his post, catching with his lens the ruins of the uncaptured Fort and the untaken city in 1864.
How well he made these pictures may be seen on the pages preceding and the lower picture opposite.
They furnish a glimpse into American history that most people — least of all the Confederate veterans themselves — never expected to enjoy.

W. T. Sherman on Horseback.
Waiting for the march to the sea: Camp of the first Michigan engineers at Atlanta, autumn, 1864.
After the capture of Atlanta, says Sherman, all the army, officers and men, seemed to relax more or less and sink into a condition of idleness.
All but the engineers!
For it was their task to construct the new lines of fortifications surveyed by General Poe so that the city could be held by a small force while troops were detached in pursuit of Hood.
The railroad lines and bridges along the route by which the army had come had to be repaired so that the sick and wounded and prisoners could be sent back to Chattanooga and the army left free of encumbrances before undertaking the march to the sea. In the picture, their work practically done, the men of the First Michigan Engineers are idling about the old salient of the Confederate lines southeast of Atlanta near which their Camp was pitched.
The organization was the
