From the May 2022 American Battlefield Trust calendar.
COLD HARBOR, VIRGINIA
280 acres saved
Initiated on May 31,1864, Union General Ulysses S. Grant's multi-day assault at Cold Harbor, Virginia, ended as a bloody failure, with more than 12,700 Northern casualties.
Of that number, 7,000 Federals fell on June 3, the battle's bloodiest day.
The Trust, along with partners that include the Commonwealth of Virginia and the HTR Foundation, has saved 280 acres at this historic battlefield and persevere to protect even more in the future!
