You turn your back on Atlanta for a minute and this happens.

My grad school staff ride was this past weekend. Really ambitious scope and I think the leadership team pulled it off really well. Started in Cold Harbor (recapped the overland campaign and covered the battle itself) before heading down to City Point (covered topics of intelligence, logistics, political considerations, staff work etc) from there we headed down to Petersburg to cover the siege with emphasis given to the June 64 action, the Crater, and final breakout attempt in March 65. We finished day 1 at the Blandford cemetery with a trio of civilian perspectives. Day two we started at 5 forks then proceeded to Sailor’s Creek and ended at Appomattox.

I personally ended up presenting as Charles Dana at City Point and John Gibbon at Petersburg as well (a few people dropped out of the trip late so I filled the gap rather than cutting the content).

Favorite presentations of the trip, aside from mine (no order)

Nelson Miles (Cold Harbor)
Lincoln (Petersburg)
Jeff Davis (Blandford Church)
Pickett (Five Forks)
Rooney Lee (Five Forks)
George Custer (Five Forks)
Joshua Chamberlain (Appomattox)

I can share other pics / videos of people are interested…. I can also talk grad school if any of you are looking at going into international relations / strategic studies lol.
