City Point, Virginia, was the Union supply base where Ulysses S. Grant set up his headquarters in 1864 and 1865, and this picture places him there during the final campaign against Robert E. Lee's army. The port on the James River handled a steady flow of men, horses, rations and ammunition for the siege of Petersburg, making it one of the busiest logistical hubs of the war. Grant's presence there shows how closely he directed operations from the field rather than from Washington. Look at the crowded wharves and the rail lines in the background, which hint at the scale of the effort behind the general.
