The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought from May 31 to June 12, 1864, with the most significant fighting occurring on June 3rd, 1864. It was one of the final battles of Federal Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign during the American Civil War. This conflict is remembered as one of American history's bloodiest, most lopsided battles. Thousands of Federal soldiers were killed or wounded in a hopeless frontal assault against the fortified positions of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army.
