I found this of interest as I had no idea what the "Battle of the Wilderness" referred to.





After some research I found out it was a Civil War battle:

The Battle of the Wilderness, fought May 5–7, 1864, was the first battle of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Virginia Overland Campaign against Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Both armies suffered heavy casualties.

The battlefield was an expanse of nearly impenetrable scrub growth and rough terrain that encompassed more than 70 square miles of Spotsylvania and Orange County in central Virginia.
