June of 1864 found Grant and Lee still locked in combat.  As the armies neared Richmond, fighting was constant and casualties mounted to levels unlike anything this country had ever experienced.  We pick up, yet again, with the Overland Campaign as Lee and Grant clash at Cold Harbor and Petersburg.
