    Cold Harbor - The Battle for Cold Harbor took place 3-12 June 1864. Grant, reinforced to a strength of 100,000 men, determined to split Lee’s army, which he believed to be over extended a 6-mile line. Delays in troop movements postponed the attack for 24 hours. Lee, feverishly improving his field fortifications, was himself reinforced by opponents of Sigel in the Valley and Butler on the James. Veteran defenders in a well-fortified position, strong in artillery, repulsed Grant’s assaults. After losing nearly 7,000 men in less than an hour, Grant called off the attack. The defenders suffered fewer than 1,500 casualties. Other Union probes were also beaten back. Overall losses in the 10-day battle: Union 13,078; Confederate, approximately 3,000.
