Summary
| Description |
English: New Union Army leader U.S. Grant's strategy in Virginia was to attack the strongest Confederate Army, Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, from multiple fronts. The map shows the plan for western Virginia. The railroads that supplied Lee's army were Union targets, including the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad and the Virginia Central Railroad. This would cause Lee to send troops, that could be defending Richmond, to western Virginia to defend the railroads. |

| Source | This is a crop of an 1861 map created by O.N. Snow & Co. The entire map can be found in the Library of Congress here, and shows Virginia, Delaware, Maryland & West Virginia. Text box and blue and red labels were added by TwoScarsUp based on descriptions in the book Lee's Endangered Left by Richard R. Duncan. Because this map was originally created in 1861, it does not show Bland County—which was created in 1861 from portions of Wythe, Tazewell, and Giles counties. |
