Malvern Hill. This is the site of one of General Lee's few mistakes. It was here on July 1, 1862 that Union heavy artillery attacked groups of Lee's army as they tried attacking the high ground in an unorganized fashion and were literally shredded apart by the Union cannons. The Confederates suffered over 5,300 casualties and did not gain an inch of ground in return.
