we're coming down to the potomac river. if you look across the way, you will see alexandria in virginia. at jones point was battery rogers. jones point would have been in this direction on the other side of the bridge. where jones point and battery rogers was. the forts ran off from there. it anchored the defenses on the virginia side. the forts ran off through alexandria and back to the river and across. they had a team they could put chain they could put across the potomac to keep ships from coming up the river. as far as i know, we have never had it laid out. but they did have a chain they could use across the river. this is a map, there is fort foote on the river, jones point over here. back over towards fort ward. then we are going to go to fort stevens. which is right here. to give you an idea. you see these black marks point out where the different forts were. and then the city more or less imposed on the map itself. we are coming up on one of the 15-inch rodman guns. you can see how large it is there were guns like

the next day on july 5, they crossed over the potomac river. gettysburg in 1863 into what would become the file -- battle. he fled with his troops of the maryland heights which was on the other side of the river from harpers ferry. they were pretty well embedded up there. he made a right turn and was 50 miles from washington. they did rest for a couple of days in maryland near antietam. he headed towards washington. early was quite a character to say the least. he came from a prominent family in virginia. he went to west point but not to be a military man -- it was a good education of the time. he didn't take part in the mexican war but he didn't see any action. he was a member of the virginia general assembly for one term. before the war started, he was part of the virginia concession -- a secession. he became one of the most ardent confederates of diehards. he quickly gained irritation of being an aggressive leader. he was in all the battles of the eastern theater. he was kind of a cantankerous guy. he was a tobacco chewing -- he was famous f

the army of the potomac new force to just above the river. we offer a new grant as a general that would do headlong assaults, but what the union commanders decided to do was a turning movement across the river, downriver from lee and come back at him, negating the confederate defenses. unfortunately, when you cross the river down from where lee was, you go into this tangled area called the wilderness, which had been for a stint in colonial times but by 1864 was second growth. it had been cut down for smelters of various types, and it was a terrible place for a big army like the one grant was with, like the army of the potomac, to fight a smaller army like lee's. the terrain was terrible. infantry could not really see where other soldiers were. artillery would not have any clear targets, and the union and cavalry would be useless because there were just a few winding trails to this wooded forest. commanders decided they would stop and spend the night in the wilderness before moving on toward lee. they made a miscalculation. they figured they c

really the experience of the army of the potomac would've confirmed that. for a long time in his service, he is waiting trying to get to the virginia northern neck area in two different efforts to invade richmond. he sees people randomly shot. he gets randomly shot. he sees people run to the death because a wrong order. he never has any sense of what the general plan of the war is so you may have associated link in with the strategist of the war and thought it was pretty much of a mess and partly blame the lincoln. he is not an abolitionist after the war. he has a much more ambivalent attitude towards the confederates and the returning confederates. no particular reason to lionize lincoln. that was not his style. he wrote a lot of affectionate tributes to people on their deaths or remembering them and said some nice things about them, but praise was not his strong suit. i can see he had an attitude towards linking of increasing detachment. >> dr. holmes -- holmes himself was the son of a very famous father at the time. his father capitalized by writing a ve

really the experience of the army of the potomac would've confirmed that. for long periods in holmes's service, he's just wading through swamps trying to get from the virginia northern neck area to richmond in two different abortive efforts to invade richmond. he sees people randomly shot. he gets randomly shot. he sees people run to their deaths because someone gives them a wrong order. he never has any sense of what the general plan of the war is so he may have associated lincoln in with the strategists of the war and thought that it was pretty much of a mess and partly blamed lincoln for that. he is not an abolitionist after the war. he has a much more ambivalent attitude towards the confederates and the returning confederates. no particular reason to lionize lincoln. and lionization wasn't holmes's style. he wrote a lot of affectionate tributes to people on their deaths or remembering them and said some nice things about them, but praise was not his strong suit. so i can imagine his having an attitude toward linking of -- lincoln of increasing detachmen

grant made his headquarters with the army of the potomac. his attention would be totally on robert e lee's forces. other generals had overtaken the same strategy and met defeat. grant regarded a battle loss as merely a momentary setback. bested, he intended to reassemble and attack again and again and again until lee's outnumber army was forced to play the sort of game they could not win. put another way, in may 1864, the union army stopped playing chess and switched over to checkers. both armies bled hopelessly that -- bled copiously that month. grant took a pounding on a two-day fight in the wilderness. the union general ignored the movements togan turn the southerners away from richmond. so began a game of flank and fight and flank and fight again. mile by mile, grant kept pushing. 50 miles and 30 days after the start, the armies were approaching the river. whosepredictable stream banks depended on when last it had rained. the hind it was richmond itself, less than a day's march away. bloodied hosts gravitated toward a place of cold harbo
