here's petersburg. grant grant wanted to cut off richmond's communication and transportation of goods from and through petersburg, and, of course, destroy lee's army. june 15th to the 18th before lee even really fully arrived at petersburg, union troops assaulted the city but failed to capture it. seize operations began and along one part of the line, the men in major general burnside's ninth corps was less than 400 feet from the confederate earth works. in the midst of the summer of 1864's drought and heatwave was the constant sharp shooting and construction of earth works and a plan had developed to break this campaign before it lasted much longer. as early as june 21st, lieutenant colonel henry pleasant's infantry thought -- he later noted greatest enthusiasm for the project was his division commander brigadier general robert potter and his core commander andros burnside. 48th pennsylvania infantry began excavating the mine on the 25th of june for whatever reason people remember it started at 12:00 n

of course, that would be giving up richmond and petersburg. this kind of flam bouncy with pierre gustav to beauregard is understandable. if your parents name you this, you will have grandiose plans. freeman should have applied this rule to robert e. lee. if he had done so, i think he would laugh come up with a more critical, and actually more lasting interpretation of the general. so my argument is very straightforward. and note that i've just changed the slide to distract you as i tell you my argument. it is simply this. by the fall of 1863, lee's expectations of his army had far exceeded what it could actually accomplish. during the preceding 24 months before june 1st, 1864, before the fighting at cold harbor, lee had lost roughly 100,000 men. of course, he was keenly aware of his diminished strength, but at the start of the overland campaign, robert e. lee was still searching for that elusive victory of annihilation, or you can call it an american waterloo. what's really odd here is lee's thinking on this subject, after 1863, in no way evol

petersburg times.and then about two or three years later after she had won all kinds of awards for investigative reporting at the st. petersburg times, she called me again and said she had an offer from the "washington post" and what did i think. should she take that all it should she stay at the st. petersburg times? she felt terribly loyal to the times. they had treated her right. she got to do many great stories, and should she take this job at the post. a couple years after that, she got an offer from "the new york times." and she didn't call me. [laughter] she just took the job. so she's done wonderful work there. along the way of course i think some of you know she won the pulitzer prize for a series on vice president cheney, investigative reporting, investigative profile of the vice president of the united states. and may be laid on, we're here to talk about another subject, but maybe later i'll we can ask or a little bit about dick cheney since he's back in the news recently for evaluating pres

petersburg against the nazi siege. hours' sleep and is in front of the building with a huge pile of bodies. that is what happened every time. the bodies are loaded onto a trolley to be taken away to mass burial he sees the late and he says that is my wife. i want my wife. the body collector says get away. he says i want my wife's body he pulled her out of the pile of bodies and she is still life. he carries her up to the apartment in nurses her back to health than they have a son named vladimir putin. i listen to the story i ask the ambassador have you heard this before? he said no. i have no reason to doubt. i cannot confirm but look what it tells us about the russian experience and the character of the man who is the current president. someone in his own life experience remembers and feels the suffering and wants to restore russia's greatness. but when we deal with him and you have to show an

[laughter] should she take that? or should she stay at the st. petersburg times. she felt terribly loyal to the times. they had treated her right. she had gotten to do many great stories, and should, should she take this job at the post? a couple years after that he got an offer from "the new york times." [laughter] and she didn't call me.

. >> after will list -- wilderness, you had petersburg surrounded. his idea, his plan was to choke robert e lee and force them to come out and fight what he thought would be the battle that would end the war. we knew this as well. lee came up with a plan of his own witches he took an entire core of troops and he took them outside the defenses of washington on a bold plan, a four-part plan that he hoped would mess up general grant's grand plan to end the war. the first plan with the kick the forces out of the shenandoah valley. lee's biggest problem was supplied, including food and most of the food came from the shenandoah valley. these forces under general hunter had taken over just about the entire shenandoah valley. the second part of the plan was to threaten washington, d.c. the third part of the plan was the free confederate prisoners at the lookout prison camp was -- which was on the very tip of the southern maryland. i think the planet that we considered the most important was the force grant to take grant outside of petersburg. in the early mo

people of russia voted it the sports capital of the country ahead of places like moscow and st petersburg and it would seem that that's a reputation that's very well deserved if you just look at the kind of events that are taking place here last year it hosted the university out right now in fact as we speak the will fencing championships taking place and next year it'll be host of the world aquatics championships so an awful lot going on here in terms of sport it is of course. of the many host cities for the twenty eighth. i was lucky enough to take a trip around some of the other cities to see how the preparations are going there find out more. twenty eight hundred feet for both ladies and gentlemen to be organized. back in two thousand and ten it was all smiles as russia defied the odds to be named host of the twenty eight world cup. victory came along as he sank to a slick promotional video which pledged to develop football among the country's you . with another big selling point was russia's ambitious plan to build several new stadia which will keep games could be plate for years on

citizens but also alleviate pressure that lee felt as he stood trapped within the city limits of petersburg. hood's force was simply not strong enough to stay in atlanta and attack sherman so he decided to leave atlanta to sherman and turn his eyes northward toward tennessee with hopes of defeating the union force stationed within the city of nashville. then he wanted to continue northward through kentucky, drive across the ohio river, and reunite with lee in order to drive grant out of the trenches at petersburg. he thought that the very threat of his presence in the region would force grant to leave lee alone. although many historians have called this plan pure fantasy, scripted in never neverland, and the delusions of a drug-addicted buffoon, the confederate populace at the time had a very different reaction. one newspaper wrote, in either event hood's movement is as promising as it is bold and daring. actually, hood had conceived part of this plan as far back as the spring of 1864. in a letter to jefferson davis he wrote, my heart was fixed upon our going to the front and regaining tenn
