The opposing forces at the beginning of Grant's campaign against Richmond.
For much of the information contained in this list and in similar lists to follow, the editors are indebted (in advance of the publication of the “Official records” ) to
Brigadier-General Richard C. Drum,
Adjutant-General of the Army.
During the movement to Cold Harbor some consolidations of brigades and divisions were made, organizations mustered out, and reenforcements received.
For the composition of the army, June 1st, see pp. 184-87. The impossibility of obtaining complete data relative to the casualties among officers in this campaign makes it necessary to omit such information.--editors.
