DESCRIPTION
This detailed steel engraving was published in New York by Johnson and Ward in 1862. It shows the highlights from the Peninsular Campaign of that same year, fought between the Union forces of George B. McClellan and the Confederate troops under Robert E. Lee.
Crossed swords mark the many engagements fought in the campaign including Fair Oaks/Seven Pines, White Oak Bridge, Mechanicsville, Malvern Hill, and even the encounter between the Monitor and Merrimack off Hampton Roads. Arrows follow Federal advances and retreats while other labels show depth soundings, railroads, light houses, marshy areas, army camps, artillery batteries, and other details of particular military interest.
Though the Confederate Army suffered more causalities during this terrible campaign, they succeeded in depriving the Union from taking the critical capital city of Richmond.
