The Garthright House at Cold Harbor. In June 1864 the Union turned this middle-class plantation into a field hospital. The residents were forced to move to the basement where they watched the blood from the wounded drip down between their floorboards. After General Grant abandoned Cold Harbor, the Confederates set up a hospital for their wounded here as well. © Mike Lynaugh
