On to Petersburg: Grant and Lee, June 4-15, 1864
On to Petersburg is the final book in Gordon Rhea’s five-volume history of the Overland Campaign, a series of Civil War battles fought between Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee in southeastern Virginia in the spring and summer of 1864. Having previously covered the campaign in; The Battle of the Wilderness May 5 — 6, 1864; The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern May 7 — 12, 1864; To the North Anna River: Grant and Lee, May 13 — 25, 1864; and Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26 — June 3, 1864, Rhea concludes his series with a comprehensive account of the last twelve days of the campaign, which concluded with the beginning of the siege of Petersburg. Like the four volumes that preceded it, On to Petersburg represents decades of research and scholarship and will stand as the most authoritative history of the final battles in the campaign.
