Description
The Overland Campaign: A Numerical Study of Lee's Army provides a long-overdue examination of the Confederate forces under Robert E. Lee during this pivotal period in American history. Historians have often struggled to accurately assess the strength and casualties of Lee's army, due in part to poor record-keeping by the Confederates. Recent research has shed new light on these questions, but significant doubts persist about the army's capabilities at the outset of the campaign, the number of reinforcements received, and the total number of casualties sustained. This book addresses this deficiency, offering for the first time accurate information regarding the Confederate side throughout the conflict. By providing a detailed numerical study of Lee's Army during the Overland Campaign, Alfred C. Young III sheds new light on one of the most complex and contested periods of the American Civil War.
