In the winter of 1864 while Grant prepared for the inevitable spring campaign in Georgia, Congress revived the rank of lieutenant general for the purpose of giving it to its most victorious general. When the bill passed, President Lincoln called Grant to Washington to receive his commission and to assume command of all the armies.Major General Henry W. Halleck, who became Grants chief of staff, then handled administrative matters and implemented the commanders orders, thus creating a modern chain of command and freeing Grant to take the field. Accompanying the Army of the Potomac, Grant planned a coordinated spring campaign of all the armies. Lincolns response to the planThose not skinning can hold a legdelighted Grant. He soon learned, however, that some commanders, notably Major Generals Nathaniel P. Banks, Benjamin F. Butler, and Franz Sigel, would let the legs slip from their grasp.Grants arrival was greeted with scant enthusiasm by the Army of the Potomac. By not bringing in victorious generals from the western armies and by quietly conveying his confidence in his own troops, however, he soon raised morale. By the time his army crossed the Rapidan in early May it was ready for a series of bloody battles with General Robert E. Lee.May ended with the armies massed for an encounter at Cold Harbor. Grant suffered heavy casualties but was determined to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer. Evaluation of Grants success that May depends on whether one checks the maps or the casualty figures. Grant pushed Lee back to Richmond, but the cost was awesome.Although Grant remained informed on the basis of reports sent to Halleck and copied for him, correspondence not addressed to Grant has been excluded from this book unless it is essential to understanding Grants own letters. As he moved into Virginia, Grants correspondence increased in volume and significance. Hallecks new position relieved Grant, and later his editors and readers, of much routine army business.
