The Virginia Campaign of '64 and '65: The Army of the Potomac and the Army of the James is a historical account of the military campaigns that took place in Virginia during the American Civil War. The book was written by Andrew A. Humphreys, a Union Army general who served as Chief of Engineers during the war. The book covers the period from May 1864 to April 1865, when Union forces under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant launched a series of offensives against Confederate forces in Virginia. It focuses on the actions of the Army of the Potomac, which was the main Union force in the region, and the Army of the James, which was a smaller force that operated in the area around Richmond and Petersburg.Humphreys provides a detailed account of the major battles and campaigns of the period, including the Wilderness Campaign, the Siege of Petersburg, and the Appomattox Campaign. He also examines the tactics and strategies employed by both sides, as well as the logistical challenges faced by the Union armies in their efforts to supply and support their troops.Throughout the book, Humphreys draws on his own experiences as a Union general, as well as a wide range of primary sources, including official reports, letters, and diaries. The result is a comprehensive and authoritative account of one of the most important military campaigns of the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
