Major General Lewis A. Grant was one of Vermont's greatest heroes
in the Civil War. He organized the Fifth Vermont in 1861 and led
the First Vermont Brigade from February 1863 to June 1865. He
participated in 22 battles; most notable were Savage's Station in
1862, Marye's Heights and Bank's Ford in 1863, the Wilderness,
Spotsylvania Court House, and Cedar Creek in 1864, and the
breakthrough of the Confederate lines in 1865. He was selected by
General Meade to lead the brigade to suppress the Draft Riots in
New York after Gettysburg, and also, to defend the Brock Road in
the Battle of the Wilderness. He personally discovered the weak
point in the Confederate lines at Petersburg and was honored by
having his brigade lead the assault on April 2, 1865, action which
quickly led to the end of the war.
