Can you take Richmond? As the legendary Lee, can you hold Richmond against an adversary who has been given a second chance? There is a void in the history of the Overland Campaign. Somehow the armies left the stalemate in the Spotsylvania trenches and showed up two weeks later glaring at each other across fields of blood at Cold Harbor. There is some mention made--occasionally--of an interlude on the North Anna, but by and large little has been written about the maneuvers and skirmishes, the marches and sharp little firefights that punctuated the last two weeks of May, 1864. For the Army of Northern Virginia, these were its last full scale maneuvers until Appomattox, ten months later. For the Army of the Potomac, it was two weeks of missed opportunities. This was its last chance to defeat Lee's army in the open field and avoid the prospect of months of grinding siege warfare.
