Joseph Wheelan talked about his book, Bloody Spring: Forty Days That Sealed the Confederacy’s Fate, in which he recounts the Ulysses S. Grant-led Union Army offensive into Virginia in May and June of 1864. In his book, the author reports that prior to General Grant’s incursion, Virginia had defended itself against four prior Union generals, and Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army felt assured they would succeed. Mr. Wheelan argued that over six weeks, General Grant’s Overland Campaign put an end to the South’s offensive capabilities, which ultimately led to General Lee’s surrender close to a year later. Joseph Wheelan spoke at Quail Ridge Books and Music in Raleigh, North Carolina close
