The Battle of the Wilderness. A Currier & Ives print published about 1864. The Battle of the Wilderness was fought May 5 to 7, 1864. It was the first battle of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Campaign against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army. Both armies suffered heavy casualties. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued toward Richmond. |
|
May 6, 1864. A print published by Kurz & Allison about 1897. Grant wanted to avoid confrontation at the wilderness as the dense vegetation would be a hindrance to his superior artillery. For that reason and the fact that the confusion caused by the vegetation could aid him with his lower troop strength is exactly why Lee sought the confrontation. |
