FREE Zoom Lecture - To Hell or Richmond: The 1862 Peninsula Campaign
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 8:00 PM
Sponsor: CWRT Congress

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 onto their flag.

As McClellan approached the very gates of Richmond, a great battle brewed.  Could the Confederates save their capital and, with it, their young nation?  Could the Federals win the war with a single fatal blow?

Crenshaw and Gruber follow 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.
