We will have a historian with us on the cruise who will make the battlefields come alive. We will follow in the footsteps of General Robert E. Lee and his Lieutenants in their first campaign together as they defeat the Army of the Potomac. We will start at Chickahominy Bluffs and follow the Confederate forces thru their victories and blunders to the final battle of the campaign at Malvern Hill. We will drive along country roads to enjoy the scenery and learn of the beginnings of one of the most famous beloved Generals and Armies in military history.
We can take 20 cars on the tour.
