In other words, Grant, after a campaign from May 5th to December 31st, had an army of 219,162 soldiers and having on hand December 31 only 110,364, he must then have lost during that time 108,798.

Since the days of the coalition against Napoleon no grander army ever appeared than that controlled by Grant in his advance to Richmond. Major-General Webb, United States army, in his Through the Wilderness (Battles and Leaders, Vol. III, p. 152), says: Grant's army, 118,000 men, properly dis
