And now look to the sun and the rain and the clouds which is part of american history. Cold harbor is the final battle which took place in the spring of 1864 with robert e. Lee. And going into the north river than finally northeast of richmond between the rivers. May 26 the armies would face each other for several days and clashed but finally fighting on the outskirts of the army between the calgary both turned their attention. May 31st and june 1st both sides would rush. But there is nothing specialady about cold harbj itself. One year some seriousness of all i have seen the first sight of cold harbor was the most dear. Open plains and trampled plots in to assess sides. Sahara intensified in driscoll of cold harbor for. It was important for one road to the east the armys name supplied and to the west to the confederate capital of richmond. Probably because it was the last battle of the campaign wide encapsulates a decent characteristic of that campaign. From the deepest perspective w
Brilliant at it. I mean, you would take train rides around the country. Six weeks in the spring and fall and he talked about simple language. He said the Harvard Audis think i talk into folksy language, but i know i reached them. Speak softly and carry a big stick. It summed up his entire administration. He then gave Maxwell House a slogan good until the very next stop. He was able with his relationship, but he was so interesting. He had a mida shave. When the barbarous shaving hand he is answering their questions and they say the barber has to keep up with him as hes moving around. He understood the press was an important channel for him to reach the public and so he would read their articles ahead of time. Investigative reporters would be able to criticize him. They would criticize them. He didnt have the relationship of the press that he had so the president was drifting and the progressives were moving further forward than teddy was at the time. It was a desire to be back in office
Who writes his memoir 40 years after the fact, writes it in a flowery 19th century flowery style. When wallace says they arrived here in the morning and lit their camp fires, hell Say Something like, you know, the ste ste steely ska gave way to the orange sun and which was great. You have to balance what wallace says in his memoir with his telegrams from the battlefield. His after reaction report two weeks later because wallace had a way of making himself sound really good. And, you know, he did a very brave thing here. Cant get away from that. And as i say in the book, i believe and i think the judgment of history is that what wallace did here did safe washington, d. C. So this battle took place on july 9th, 1864 and right now its november 2nd, 2007. Its a beautiful day. But one thing to keep in mind about this battle is it was very, very hot. They didnt have thermometers, at least no one referred to a thermometer in their memoirs, but it had to have been in the upper 90s and very, ve
Are spending much time at all training for the crater. I think it gets back to how we tend to want to remember this story. The story of the black Union Soldier is front and center. I couldnt be happier about that. I think theres been a danger in the way the story has been pushed over the last few years. It is the moral narrative of our civil war memory. We want to correct for forgetting about them for so long. I think we tend to gloss over some of the darker sides of black soldiers. I dont think were comfortable talking about black soldiers massacrering others. That doesnt fit into our minds right now. I think we want to believe if those black regiments had been allowed to lead the assault that would have been it. We can imagine black soldiers charging over brandfield hill into petersberg. Thats a very soothing image. Anyone who has studied civil war battles, theres nothing that goes as planned. Is there any surprise given this massive detonation. No one can really predict what it will
