Greatly enjoying this thread; excellent analysis everyone. I only have a question. Has anyone every known the location of Pemberton's proposed battleground to fight Grant, before Gen. Johnston ordered him to join up with his army. I think ed Bearss in his book Receding Tide calls it "Mt. Moriah," evidently he threw up some fortifications. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any trace or has taken photos, or has the land been paved over,etc.? I think he describes it as "a commanding ridge two miles south of Edwards."
