After the grueling battles at the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, Grant finally cut loose from the mud and blood to flank Lee's Army out of its trenches. On the evening of May 20, Hancock's 2nd Corps led off, headed roundabout for the North Anna River. Despite a good head start, the federals found themselves losers in the race. On May 22, as they probed toward the river they encountered Confederate outguards shadowing their movements, When they finally crossed the river, they encountered defenses as formidable as anything at Spotsylvania. They had run up against the classic defensive position on the North Anna, so strong and confounding that US Grant declined to fight here. What will YOU do, general???
