Product Details:

General Grant in the Wilderness Campaign by Henry Alexander Ogden portrays General Ulysses S. Grant during the brutal and chaotic Overland Campaign of May 1864, specifically the Battle of the Wilderness—a savage fight fought in dense, tangled Virginia forest. Ogden depicts Grant calm and composed amidst the smoke-filled woods surrounded by aides relaying reports from the front. His demeanor contrasts with the confusion of the battlefield, symbolizing his steady, unrelenting leadership style. Unlike previous Union commanders, Grant refused to retreat after the inconclusive and bloody battle, choosing instead to push forward toward Richmond. Ogden’s painting subtly honors this shift in Union strategy—highlighting Grant’s determination to wage continuous pressure on Lee’s army and bring the war to a close.
