    The Battle of Malvern Hill was fought on 1 July 1862, between the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, led by Gen. Robert E. Lee, and the Union Army of the Potomac under Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan. It was the final battle of the Seven Days Battles during the American Civil War, taking place on a 130-foot elevation of land known as Malvern Hill, near the Confederate capital of Richmond, VA. and just one mile from the James River. More than fifty thousand soldiers from each side took part, using more than two hundred pieces of artillery and three warships.(Wikepdia)
