9/10. But I'll challenge the idea that Yorktown was only George Washington. I thought there was a significant Civil War battle there as well, although it may have occurred before Grant moved to the east.

Confederate General Magruder held up General McClellan at Yorktown for several weeks during the Penninsula campaign of 1862. That must be what you're thinking of.
