I think you mean the Overland Campaign - of which the Wilderness was the first big battle.

The other two were Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, before they settled in for the long Siege of Petersburg, which cost so many casualties that Lincoln wrote in his diary that he expected to lose the 1864 General Election.
