I really appreciate it. I hope youre all doing well tonight, and thank you for coming. Im here to talk about my latest book, bloody spring, which i say that it is the campaign that sealed the fate of the confederacy. The Union Campaign in virginia that i described in bloody spring spans six weeks, and may to june of 1864, exactly 150 years ago. In my book i make the case that the chain of battles fought by ulysses s. Grants army with the civil war major turning point. Are excellent books about the campaigns major battles, but usually this campaign is presented as part of a larger history of the war. Surprisingly few one volume books
