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.

The Pickle Means Business
This toy is a godsend. The price is unbeatable in comparison to Petsmart/1-800Petsupplies and even Chewy. This was one of many christmas gifts for our high chewer Aussie and our Border Collie mix, they opened it early like all dogs do. We lovingly nicknamed this toy 'the pickle' and the dogs know if we tell them to go get their pickle, they bring it to us to fill with treats! The pickle is a perfect toy for if you won't be home for awhile, or if your dog needs to be occupied for an hour or two. We fill it with peanut butter and dog food, then freeze and it makes a perfect long lasting toy. My only single complaint to think about is that this toy picks up fur and dirt like mad. It seems the rubber is just a magnet for gross stuff on your floors. Our solution is to ask the dogs to bring us the pickle whenever we run the dishes, and throw it in the dishwasher!

Perfect to distract and engage my dogs
Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
These are quite possibly the best thing ever invented for dogs. They are durable, of high quality, easy to wash, and my dogs love them. These are perfect if I need everyone to be quiet for a phone call or if there is a thunderstorm. It helps distract and engage them, and bonus points: my dogs haven't been able to destroy these yet! Always make sure you measure before you buy something! 💜💜💜

Color: Purple, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Much better than the smaller versions for my aggressive chewer. For the smaller would they’d bite the sides and start choking on small pieces BUT! Not this one, this one has withheld hours upon hours and has been used repeatedly. It’s much more durable and I love it. The treat rings aren’t expensive for a bunch of them too which is great!

Great toy, not for strong chewers
Color: Orange, Size: Medium
Our Lab Stella loves her "doughnut" treats she gets with this toy! It's a great design, between the rawhide treats that aren't too much for your dog, the nubby teeth cleaner wheels and the hard plastic ends. We're on our 4th one as the hard plastic gets tooth marks & our Stella starts trying to bite off pieces of the plastic. Once it's too chewed, we throw it out and get another one. Not super durable for strong chewers if you intend it to last a long time, but great features if you keep getting new, unchewed ones!
