I can't give you an exact answer on the comparison. However, www.mscomm.com/~ulysses/page164.html will give you some information on Grant's battles.

Thanks Teecee, I have always wondered that... given that we won, I'd recalled that Lee won most the engagements... it seems Grant won the crucial ones.

Of the ten costliest battles Robert E. Lee and Grant commanded opposing forces in two of them.

Battle of the Wilderness (Virginia), May 5-7, 1864
101,895 Yanks, against 61,025 Good ol' boys
Casulties, 17,666 Union 7,750 Southern
The winner in inconclusive.

Battle of Spotsylvania (Virginia) May 8-19, 1864
83,000 Yanks, against 50,000 Rebs.
Casulties, 18,399 Union 9000 Southern
The win went to Robert E. Lee.
