The Texas Brigade in the Wilderness by Dayton Kelley presents a history of the General Hood’s infamous Texas Brigade during the Battle of the Wilderness on May 5-7, 1864. The Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant’s 1864 Virginia Overland Campaign against Confederate General Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia. The fighting occurred in a wooded area near Locus Grove, Virginia. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, nearly 29,000 in total, a harbinger of the war of attrition by Grant against Lee to come. It was also the battle where the “Lee to the Rear” incident occurred with the Texas Brigade soldier urging Lee to move back to the rear for protection. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued his offensive.
