| Summary | "Richmond National Battlefield Park, Virginia" by Joseph P. Cullen is a historical account written in the early 1960s. The book explores the significant battles fought in and around Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, during the American Civil War. It details military strategies, troop movements, and the socio-political context of the time, providing insight into how these events shaped the course of the war. The book is structured in two parts, with the first section focusing on the Peninsula Campaign of 1862, highlighting pivotal battles such as Seven Pines and Gaines' Mill. Cullen discusses the Union Army's attempts to capture Richmond under General McClellan and the Confederate defense led by General Lee. The second part chronicles the final struggle for the city from 1864 to 1865, detailing key moments such as Grant's campaigns and the eventual fall of Richmond. Through vivid descriptions and historical context, Cullen illustrates the harrowing experiences of soldiers and the devastating impact of war on the city and its inhabitants, ultimately culminating in the evacuation and destruction of Richmond as the Confederacy collapsed.
