She is the author of On A Great Battlefield: The Making, Management, and Memory of Gettysburg National Military Park, 1933-2013 (2014) and is working on a book tentatively titled Meade at War: The Military Life of George Gordon Meade. We talked about how the relationship between George Meade and Ulysses S. Grant operated during the Army of the Potomac's pivotal 1864 campaigns against Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.Welcome to The 1864 Project. We hope you’ll join us. ©2026 by The Civil War Monitor. All rights reserved.
