strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond is the “Cold Harbor”.
The Battle of the Cold Harbor was on the final battles fought in 1864
during the American Civil War. The Peninsular Campaign led to a combat in
between the Union led by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the army of
Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
When Grant was not able to break the lines drawn by Lee in Spotsylvania
both the armies headed towards the Anna River that was only 25 miles from
Richmond.
After this battle, Grant continued to pursue his goal of attacking the
capital of the Confederate, which led to another battle just 8 miles from the
northeast of Richmond, which was in the vicinity of the strategic crossroads
northeast of Richmond, called Cold Harbor.
The name Cold Harbor was derived from the name of a tavern and the place
was situated in between the rivers Chickahominy and Pamunkey.
