The armies fought to a bloody stalemate on May 12 1864. A massive assault, spearheaded by Hancock's Second Corps and ultimately reinforced by units from every corps in the Union Army, was stopped only by the superhuman efforts of Ramseur, Gordon and Lee. Again Lee's men stop him from personally leading an assault. God knows they cannot spare him. Finally, quivering in the mud and gore after over twelve hours of non-stop fighting, they do stop. It is a time of decision for U S Grant. "Fight it out on this line if it takes all summer," he had said. After a day of rest on May 13, Grant begins a maneuver that will be repeated many times. His rightmost corps, the Fifth and Sixth, are pulled from the line and sent on a night march behind the rest of the army to come up against Lee's south flank, with orders to attack at first light, May 14. It cannot be done on schedule. The mud is too thick, the men too tired. Lee for his part can only watch, and be ready to react to his adversary's move. For once the Lee intuition fails him, almost with disastrous results. Expanded map for rear area ops.
