comprising the area east of the Appalachians in the vicinity of the rival
capitals of Washington and Richmond, and (2) the Western Theater, primarily
between the western slope of the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. Lesser
operation that took place along the coasts and inland waterways and the isolated
