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.

Great all-in-one steam cleaner
Size: Standard
The Schenley 19-in-1 Steam Mop is super versatile and easy to use. It heats up quickly and the steam is strong enough to clean floors, grout, and bathroom surfaces without any chemicals. I love how easily it switches to a handheld steamer—feels like multiple tools in one. The build is sturdy and it maneuvers well. Overall it’s a great value and works really well.

Great Lightweight Steam Mop!
Size: Compact, Size: Compact
I’m really happy with the Schenley Steam Mop. It heats up in about 15 seconds and is ready to go almost instantly. It works well on my hardwood and tile floors, removing everyday dirt without needing any chemicals. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love that it stands on its own. The washable pads and adjustable steam modes are a nice bonus. The water tank is a bit small, but for regular cleaning it’s perfect. Great value and very convenient for quick, effective cleaning!

Great versatile tool, not self-standing and missing a few accessories
Size: Standard
This is a great lightweight and versatile steam mop with good attachments. I would have given it five stars, but it is NOT self standing, does not auto-shut off, and does not have a built in cord wrap. You must manually buy the cord and then use their provided Velcro wrap to secure it in place. It also did not come with a storage bag for attachments, a cup to fill water tank, or a carpet glider. It’s water tank lasts a long time during steaming and when combined with a floor cleaner, I apply directly to the floor, works wonders for our two large dog’s footprints on our 1000 sq. ft. of laminate flooring. One to two tanks of water clean the entire square footage. After researching, I cannot find a better steam mop, with attachments that has all the features I want at $100. It also looks very sleek next to our Dyson. I would recommend.

The best!
Size: Standard, Size: Standard
This is definitely the best steam mop I have ever tried. It is easy to use and easy to assemble. I like the cord length. It covered my entire living room, kitchen and hallway. I just had to switch once! It comes with different attachments which you can use in your kitchen, and to clean windows etc. The mop pads are easy to clean and machine washable. It is definitely a must have if you want a clean, germ free home. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely Worth It!

I've been using the Schenley Steam Mop for a few weeks now, and I'm genuinely impressed with how well it cleans. The steam heats up very quickly, and I love that I can clean my floors without using harsh chemicals. It easily removed dirt and sticky spots from my tile floors and left them looking fresh and sanitized. Very happy with the purchase!
