In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee: The Wilderness Through Cold HarborIn early May 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant initiated a drive through central Virginia to crush Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. For forty days, the armies fought a grinding campaign from the Rapidan River to the James River that helped decide the course of the Civil War. Several of the war's bloodiest engagements occurred in this brief period: the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, the North Anna River, Totopotomoy

In early May 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant initiated a drive through central Virginia to crush Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. For forty days, the armies fought a grinding campaign from the Rapidan River to the James River that helped decide the course of the Civil War. Several of the war's bloodiest engagements occurred in this brief period: the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, the North Anna River, Totopotomoy Creek, Bethesda Church, and Cold Harbor. Pitting Grant and Lee against one another for the first time in the war, the Overland Campaign, as this series of battles and maneuvers came to be called, represents military history at its most intense. In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee, a unique blend of narrative and photographic journalism from Gordon C. Rhea, the foremost authority on the Overland Campaign, and Chris E. Heisey, a leading photographer of Civil War battlefields, provides a stunning, stirring account of this deadly game of wits and will between the Civil War's foremost military commanders.
Here Grant fought and maneuvered to flank Lee out of his heavily fortified earthworks. And here Lee demonstrated his genius as a defensive commander, countering Grant's every move. Adding to the melee were cavalry brawls among the likes of Philip H. Sheridan, George A. Custer, James Ewell Brown Jeb Stuart, and Wade Hampton. Forty days of combat produced horrific casualties, some 55,000 on the Union side and 35,000 on the Confederate. By the time Grant crossed the James and began the Siege of Petersburg, marking an end to this maneuver, both armies had sustained significant losses that dramatically reduced their numbers.
Rhea provides a rich, fast-paced narrative, movingly illustrated by more than sixty powerful color images from Heisey, who captures the many moods of these hallowed battlegrounds as they appear today. Heisey made scores of visits to the areas where Grant and Lee clashed, giving special attention to lesser-known sites on byways and private property. He captures some of central Virginia's most stunning landscapes, reminding us that though battlefields conjure visions of violence, death, and sorrow, they can also be places of beauty and contemplation. Accompanying the modern pictures are more than twenty contemporary photographs taken during the campaign or shortly afterwards, some of them never before published.
At once an engaging military history and a vivid pictorial journey, In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee offers a fresh vision of some of the country's most significant historic sites.

Perfect fit and nice material
Color: Blue, Size: Small
This is a really nice addition to my teen son's wardrobe because the cloth is great quality and it fits him perfectly. It looks good on him and holds up well, making it a very solid purchase for a teenager. We initially ordered the wrong size, but the exchange process was quick and prompt.

Great purchase. Waist is a little big but it will work well.
Color: Light Brown, Size: Small, Color: Light Brown, Size: Small
Super fast one day shipping. The quality is good and the fit is good. He is 5 foot 11 and his waist is 30 inches. He has long arms and the jacket lands perfectly at his wrist. The pants were a little large in the waist and the length is a little long.

Fantastic suit, especially for the $$$!
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
Bought this for my husband and my son to attend our daughter’s wedding as they had nothing to wear at all. I was kind of scared when I ordered 2 sets of these suits, I had read so many reviews that I was totally overwhelmed and didn’t know if I should get it or not, my head was literally spinning as the reviews were all over the place. So, we had went to Men’s Warehouse earlier in the day, so I had their suit jacket measurements, so I used those numbers, but tbh, I just went with the size that they usually get when getting clothes in general and their suits fit great! I was so relieved!! They looked so handsome oh my goodness! These suits fit the way that they are advertised to fit, which is “slim fit” which means they fit like a glove! Slim fit does not mean “too small” it means that these suits are not baggy or oversized, they fit the body just right! They were not wrinkly when taken out of the package, they were very nice quality, the pants were made with a nice material, they did not feel cheap at all. Everything was great!! I was so impressed with everything! I could not believe that I got both my husband and my son a 3 piece suit for less than $100 each! Both of them said that their suits were extremely comfortable and they had no problem wearing them all night. You could tell by their faces that they felt confident in them, and they knew they looked good. Very happy customer!!

Better than expected
Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large
I took a chance hoping for the best and the three piece set was better than expected and WAY more affordable than renting one. Fit my son well, who is about 215lb 6ft tall. A little snug at the belly, but great fit, zipper up fine, came with extra buttons. The material felt of decent quality and looked like a rental. My son got to fit in for his prom at a reasonable cost and good appearance without breaking the bank
