With On to Petersburg, Gordon C. Rhea completes his much-lauded history of the Overland Campaign, a series of Civil War battles fought between Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee in southeastern Virginia in the spring of 1864. Having previously covered the campaign in his magisterial volumes on The Battle of the Wilderness, The Battles for Spotsylvania Court House and the Road to Yellow Tavern, To the North Anna River, and Cold Harbor, Rhea ends this series with a comprehensive account of the last twelve days of the campaign, which concluded with the beginning of the siege of Petersburg.

On to Petersburg follows the Union army's movement to the James River, the military response from the Confederates, and the initial assault on Petersburg, which Rhea suggests marked the true end of the Overland Campaign. Beginning his account in the immediate aftermath of Grant's three-day attack on Confederate troops at Cold Harbor, Rhea argues that the Union general's primary goal was not--as often supposed--to take Richmond, but rather to destroy Lee's army by closing off its retreat routes and disrupting its supply chains. While Grant struggled at times to communicate strategic objectives to his subordinates and to adapt his army to a faster-paced, more flexible style of warfare, Rhea suggests that the general successfully shifted the military landscape in the Union's favor.

On the rebel side, Lee and his staff predicted rightly that Grant would attempt to cross the James River and lay siege to the Army of Northern Virginia while simultaneously targeting Confederate supply lines. Rhea examines how Lee, facing a better-provisioned army whose troops outnumbered Lee's two to one, consistently fought the Union army to an impasse, employing risky, innovative field tactics to counter Grant's forces.

Like the four volumes that preceded it, On to Petersburg represents decades of research and scholarship and will stand as the most authoritative history of the final battles in the campaign.--James M. McPherson, author of The War That Forged a Nation: Why the Civil War Still Matters

No need for dry chapped lips
After trying many different products designed to help your lips feel soft and healthy it was such a pleasure to find something that really worked! Vaseline is a brand that is tried and true so I wasn’t apprehensive about the purchase. I noticed an improvement right away. My lips no longer hurt or felt chapped and dry. There is no need to wait days or weeks for a solution. But it now!

Worked wonders on dry hands!
This is definitely very hydrating! Worked so well on my very dry hands without leaving a greasy feeling. I have noticed after using it on my legs they feel a little sticky, so not sure what that’s about. Overall satisfied though.

Miracle cream: excellent quality
I had dry skin. I come from a country that is very hot and being in this cold country. My skin has grown a little too thin. I really had to go to a dermatologist and he recommended this product and I recommended this product to him. I give a mile of 10 imagine I'm joining it. The foot carcasses if you have it. My carcasses are like a baby's feet really are. Can they buy it that they can buy it wherever they want from Walmart? I'm giving him a mile out of ten.

Best lotion I have bought.
Great relief for dry skin without being greasy! This is very important as I have looked for a long time for a clean and effective lotion like this. I keep the small tube in my lunch bag for work. I will buy this in bulk if I can. No odor I can detect. Gives my old skin a glow I haven't seen in many years and keeps my over worked fingers from drying and cracking.
