NORTH ANNA RIVER CAMPAIGN 21-26 May 1864 Approaching Richmond from the north after the Wilderness Campaign, Lt. General Grant sought to cross the critical rail center at Hanover Junction (Doswell). General Lee ordered the construction of a complex web of earthworks here to defend the river crossing and junction. The Union army probed the defenses and captured some of them but soon abandoned the effort and moved east toward Cold Harbor. Department of Historic Resources, 1990
