Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park

This collection of maps shows troop movements at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House during the American Civil War. The battle took place from May 8-21, 1864. The Battle of Spotsylvania Court House was the second major engagement in the Overland Campaign, occurring just days after the Battle of the Wilderness. After nearly two weeks of grueling fighting and stalemate, US General Ulysses S. Grant pushed his forces south to seek another engagement with Confederate forces under command of General Robert E. Lee.
