The Battle of the Wilderness (May 5–7, 1864) was the opening clash of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Virginia. Fought in thick, tangled woods, the brutal, often hand-to-hand, three-day battle resulted in over 28,000 combined casualties and ended in a tactical stalemate.
