In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee: The Wilderness Through Cold HarborIn early May 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant initiated a drive through central Virginia to crush Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. For forty days, the armies fought a grinding campaign from the Rapidan River to the James River that helped decide the course of the Civil War. Several of the war's bloodiest engagements occurred in this brief period: the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, the North Anna River, Totopotomoy

In early May 1864, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant initiated a drive through central Virginia to crush Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. For forty days, the armies fought a grinding campaign from the Rapidan River to the James River that helped decide the course of the Civil War. Several of the war's bloodiest engagements occurred in this brief period: the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, the North Anna River, Totopotomoy Creek, Bethesda Church, and Cold Harbor. Pitting Grant and Lee against one another for the first time in the war, the Overland Campaign, as this series of battles and maneuvers came to be called, represents military history at its most intense. In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee, a unique blend of narrative and photographic journalism from Gordon C. Rhea, the foremost authority on the Overland Campaign, and Chris E. Heisey, a leading photographer of Civil War battlefields, provides a stunning, stirring account of this deadly game of wits and will between the Civil War's foremost military commanders.
Here Grant fought and maneuvered to flank Lee out of his heavily fortified earthworks. And here Lee demonstrated his genius as a defensive commander, countering Grant's every move. Adding to the melee were cavalry brawls among the likes of Philip H. Sheridan, George A. Custer, James Ewell Brown Jeb Stuart, and Wade Hampton. Forty days of combat produced horrific casualties, some 55,000 on the Union side and 35,000 on the Confederate. By the time Grant crossed the James and began the Siege of Petersburg, marking an end to this maneuver, both armies had sustained significant losses that dramatically reduced their numbers.
Rhea provides a rich, fast-paced narrative, movingly illustrated by more than sixty powerful color images from Heisey, who captures the many moods of these hallowed battlegrounds as they appear today. Heisey made scores of visits to the areas where Grant and Lee clashed, giving special attention to lesser-known sites on byways and private property. He captures some of central Virginia's most stunning landscapes, reminding us that though battlefields conjure visions of violence, death, and sorrow, they can also be places of beauty and contemplation. Accompanying the modern pictures are more than twenty contemporary photographs taken during the campaign or shortly afterwards, some of them never before published.
At once an engaging military history and a vivid pictorial journey, In the Footsteps of Grant and Lee offers a fresh vision of some of the country's most significant historic sites.

My New Favorite Everyday Face Sunscreen
Color: 04 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I’ve tried quite a few daily sunscreens, and this one stands out for how refined it feels on the skin. The texture is elegant, moisturizing, and absorbs beautifully without the heavy, greasy finish that so many SPF products leave behind. It gives my skin a smooth, comfortable feel while still delivering dependable daily protection with zinc oxide and SPF 40. What I appreciate most is how seamlessly it fits into a morning routine. It layers well, feels gentle, and leaves my skin looking polished rather than coated. For dry skin, it strikes a really nice balance between hydration and sun protection, which makes it feel more like a true skincare step than just sunscreen. Overall, this is a very elevated everyday SPF — simple, effective, and well formulated. If you want a face sunscreen that feels sophisticated and consistently pleasant to wear, this is an excellent choice.

Great for me
Color: 03 - Tinted (1.7 oz)
I’ve tried a lot of face sunscreens over the years, and EltaMD UV Daily really stands out. It feels incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any white cast, which is a must for me. I love that it layers well under makeup and doesn’t pill or feel greasy throughout the day. What makes it a staple in my routine is how it keeps my skin hydrated while still offering solid sun protection—it almost feels like a moisturizer with SPF. My skin is on the sensitive side, and this one hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. It’s one of those products I actually enjoy using every day, which says a lot. Definitely a 5-star go-to for me!

Amazing
Color: 02 - Daily Hydration+ (1.7 oz)
The best sunscreen I have used. I am prone to breakouts and using this daily hasn’t caused any flares. I also wear makeup daily and it sits well on top of the sunscreen doesn’t get overly oily throughout the day. Doesn’t have an overwhelming typical sunscreen smell. Feels nice on skin doesn’t feel sticky or gross like many other sunscreens. Pricey but an amazing investment for your skin!

Best tinted SPF, problems with pump
Color: 03 - Tinted (1.7 oz), Color: 03 - Tinted (1.7 oz)
This is my favorite tinted moisturizer. It is very lightweight and perfect for daily wear. Provides just the right amount of coverage while also protecting from sun damage. My only complaint is the pump. The bottle is full of product, but as you can see in the video, nothing is coming out. I’ve been buying this brand for years and have never had a problem, so not sure if it’s the change in packaging or I just got a defective pump.
