	Seven Days Battles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Seven Days Battles was a series of six major battles over the seven days from June 25 to July 1, 1862, near Richmond, Virginia, in the American Civil War.
		It is sometimes known erroneously as the Seven Days Campaign, but it was actually the culmination of the Peninsula Campaign, not a separate campaign in its own right.
		The Peninsula Campaign was the unsuccessful attempt by Union Major General George B. McClellan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond and end the war.

		The Seven Days ended with McClellan's army in relative safety next to the James River, having suffered almost 16,000 casualties during the retreat.
		The Peninsula Campaign was the unsuccessful attempt by McClellan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond and end the war.
		Almost 200,000 men were in the armies that fought in the Seven Days Battles, although the inexperience or caution of the generals involved often prevented the appropriate concentration of forces and mass necessary for decisive tactical victories.

	Battery B, 4th U.S. Light Artillery - The Seven Days Battles (Seven Days Campaign)
		Near the end of the Peninsula Campaign (March-June 1862), Confederate GEN Robert E. Lee, hoping to avoid a Union siege of Richmond, decided to go on the offensive against the menacing Federal Army of the Potomac (100,000+ men - MG George B. McClellan, commanding), now within 7 miles of the Confederate capital.
		The Seven Days began on 25 June with an indecisive secondary engagement at Oak Grove (or King's School House).
		The next day (26 June) Lee ordered three divisions (14,000+ men - MG A.P. Hill, MG D.H. Hill, and MG James Longstreet, commanding) to assault the entrenched front of the Federal V Corps (15,000+ men - BG Fitz-John Porter, commanding) at Beaver Dam Creek across the Chickahominy River near Mechanicsville (northeast of Richmond).

		The subsequent Seven Days Battles drove the Federals into retreat and compelled McClellan and his army to cower in their fortified camp at Harrison's Landing on the James River.
		It has been suggested that his lack of drive in the campaign was the result of physical near-exhaustion caused by too many nights in succession without adequate sleep.
		As our route that day inclined toward the south and brought us in the direction, but to the left, of Mechanicsville, we distinctly heard the rapid and continued discharges of cannon, announcing the engagement of General A. Hill with the extreme right of the enemy.

		It was deemed inexpedient to attack him, and in view of the condition of our troops, who had been marching and fighting almost incessantly for seven days under the most trying circumstances, it was determined to withdraw, in order to afford them the repose of which they stood so much in need.
		Several days were spent in collecting arms and other property abandoned by the enemy, and in the mean time some artillery and cavalry were sent below Westover to annoy his transports.
