The Confederates Move Toward Malvern Hill
— Malvern Hill Battlefield - Richmond Nat'l Battlefield Park —
Frustrated by his failure at Glendale, Robert E. Lee gathered his army on July 1, 1862, for a final effort to destroy the Union army. But on this day, unlike his previous efforts during the Seven Days, Lee did not have a Union flank or a strung-out marching column to attack. Before him stood the powerful Union rear guard, arrayed on the plateau of Malvern Hill, about a half mile in front of you.| HM Number | HM9OQ |
