Description

In the Spring of 1862, George McClellan and his massive army were slowly making their way up the Virginia Peninsula. Their goal: Capture the Confederate capital and end the rebellion. "To Hell or Richmond", one Federal artillery unit vowed, sewing the words on their flag. Authors Doug Crenshaw & Drew Gruber will discuss their new book that follows the armies on their trek up the peninsula. The stakes grew enormous, surprises awaited, and the soldiers themselves had only two possible destinations in mind.
