Synopsis

Marching to Cold Harbor, in the words of the soldiers and their commanders, recounts the journey that foreshadowed the final great battle of the Civil War in the east before the seige of Petersburg. Their maneuvers brought them on June 3 to a crossroads where Grant attacked in three assaults, each greater in strength than Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. Those tidal waves left more than 7,000 Federal soldiers killed and wounded in less than fifteen minutes. This is the story of Lee's last victory and Grant's costly gambit in his drive to Richmond.
