About ten and one-half months, from mid-June 1864 until April 2, 1865. Before this siege began there was a six week long campaign, called "The Overland Campaign" during which several fierce battles were fought, notably the battles of The Wilderness and Spottsylvania. Grant was trying to get around Lee's Army and on to Richmond, and Lee kept interposing his army between Grant and the Confederate capital. During this six weeks, Grant lost more men than Lee had in his army. Confederate losses were very heavy too, and at the end, the Confederates could no longer keep to the open field. The Rebels had to seek the extra strength given by strong entrenchments, but in doing so, they lost their freedom of maneuver. Once forced into the defenses of Richmond and Petersburg, it was only a matter of time.
