An immersive Civil War history,
Nowhere to Run is a riveting account of the one of the most devasting battles between the Union and Confederate armies.
At 12:00 a.m. on May 4, 1864, Ulysses S. Grant and George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac began crossing the Rapidan River in an effort to turn the strategic right flank of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Confederate reaction was swift. Richard E. Ewell's Second Corps and Ambrose P. Hill's Third Corps moved to meet the advancing Union infantry, artillery, and cavalry in the heavy terrain known simply as "The Wilderness," a sprawling area of second growth scrub oak, brush, and gullies, interspersed with meandering creeks in Virginia. Inside this difficult terrain one of the largest and bloodiest battles would consume two days and thousands of men.
Nowhere to Run is the story of the men and their officers who fought and died in the horrific fighting. With Civil War historian John Michael Priest's customary thoroughness, specially drawn maps, and extensive documentation, readers will experience the battles just as the men themselves saw it, and wrote about it, from their own eyes and their own pens.
