Text Appearing Before Image: ' Text Appearing After Image: WHERE GRANT FOUND OUT HIS MISTAKE At those white tents above Quarles Mill dam sits Grant, at his General Headquarters on the 24tli ofMay, and he has found out too late that Lee has led him into a trap. The Army of Northern Virginiahad beaten him in the race for the Nortli Anna, and it was found strongly entrenched on the south side oftlie stream. The corps of Warren and Wright had crossed at Jericho Mills a mile above Quarles Mill, andHancocks crossing had been effected so easily at the wooden bridge just below Quarles Mill. Grant hadreenforced both wings of his army before he discovered that it was divided. Lees lines stretched south-ward in the form of a V, with the apex resting close to the ri\er. The great strategist had folded back hisflanks to let in Grants forces on either side. This and the following pictures form a unique series of illus-trations in panorama of the futile crossing of the North Anna by the Federals.
