Grant at Cold Harbor.
It was of the attack at Cold Harbor, June 3, 1864 that Grant said,
"I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor was ever
made. I might say the same thing of the assault of the 22d of May, 1863, at
Vicksburg. At Cold Harbor no advantage whatever was gained to compensate
for the heavy loss we sustained. Indeed, the advantages other than those of
relative losses, were on the Confederate side."

At Petersburg...
During the 1864-1865 siege of Petersburg Grant displayed his mastery of
logistics. His supply base at
City Point was one of the world's
busiest seaports and combined with the use of the Military Railroad for
communication and transportation, the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the
James were able to maintain its siege operations around Petersburg and Richmond.
