X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The Overland Campaign came to a close when
  the Army of the Potomac shifted its attention to capturing Petersburg\, V
 irginia. For Major General George G. Meade\, the Overland Campaign ended o
 n June 16\, 1864\, when he crossed the James River. This program explores 
 Meade&rsquo\;s role in the Petersburg Campaign. Although the action around
  Peterburg is largely defined as a nine-month siege\, Federal forces made 
 several attempts to secure the city. Tonight&rsquo\;s focus will be on Mea
 de&rsquo\;s role in the First Offensive\, June 15-18\, the Second Offensiv
 e\, June 22-24\, and the Third Offensive\, popularly known as the Battle o
 f the Crater\, July 30\, 1864. During this period\, Meade&rsquo\;s relatio
 nship with Grant continued to evolve and Meade labored to effectively comm
 and his army in the wake of the destructive Overland Campaign.</p>\n<p><st
