In Virginia, the Grant/Meade campaign against Lee during the summer and fall of 1864 is not making much headway. These are some of the bloodiest battles of the war, grinding day after day engagements with heavy casualties. When Jeb Stuart, Lee's trusted field officer is killed, Grant manages to slip away and move his troops toward Petersburg, a rail junction just 23 miles south of Richmond. From his defensive position at Petersburg, Beauregard appeals for help Lee sends reinforcements, and builds trench fortifications that allow the Confederates to keep Union soldiers at bay even though they are outnumbered two to one.
