to invade Pennsylvania. few days later the
Union soldiers gained two of the most important
victories of the war, at Vicksburg, one at
Gettysburg.
On this thirtieth Of May we find Lee still keep
Ing guard of Richmond. Grant. who soon after
his victory at Vicksburg had been called to
Washington, had been appointed lieutenant gen
