Battle of the Wilderness, Virginia

Battle of the Wilderness, Virginia - Multiple units engage in the thick forested area called "The Wilderness" in Spotsylvania and Orange Counties in Virginia from May 5-7, 1864. Union Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant attempts to move his troops quickly through the dense forest but is cut off by Confederate General Robert E. Lee. A bloody struggle ensues and the first battle of Grant's Overland Campain ends in a tactically inconclusive stalemate.
