Grant during the Overland Campaign\, May 4\, to June 15\, 1864.\nCivil War history has consistently framed the final two years of the war as an epic contest between Grant and Lee and h as too frequently overshadowed the role of Meade\, commander of the Army o f the Potomac. \; Grant’s arrival to the Eastern Theater in March 18 64 signaled a new command dynamic for Meade and his army. \; An examin ation of the relationship between Grant and Meade reveals nuance to the ar my’s 1864 and 1865 \;campaigns in Virginia and highlights Meade’s role in these operations. \; Rather than being relegated to a secondar y\, supporting role in the army’s command structure\, Meade exercised in credible influence on operations during the \;campaign.\nDr. Murray is a military historian\, with a specialization in the American Civil War\, in the Department of History at Oklahoma State University. \; Her most recent publication is On A Great Battlefield: The Making\, Management\, a nd Memory of Gettysburg National Military Park\, 1933-2013\, published in 2014\, with an updated version that includes a new preface released in the summer of 2023. \; She is currently working on a full-length biograph y of Meade\, tentatively titled Meade at War\, a comprehensive treatment o f Meade’s life with a focus on his career in the Army of the Potomac.&nb sp\; She is a veteran faculty member at Gettysburg College’s Civil War I nstitute and a coveted speaker at Civil War symposiums and round tables ac ross the nation. \;  \; \;\nThose who are unable to attend thi s engagement in person are invited to tune in to the lecture and Q&\;A session via Zoom. \; Click on the following link: https://us02web.zoom .us/j/81262528556. \; No password in required. \; To dial in by ph one\, call 1-301-715-8592 or click on the following link: https://us02web. zoom.us/u/klYaHotmA.
