Description
1864 1ed US CIVIL WAR General McClellan Report Army of Potomac Union Battles



“The Union, which can alone ensure internal peace, and external security to each State, Must and Shall be Preserved, cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood.”

– George B. McClellan



George Brinton McClellan was an important Union officer during the American Civil War and the Mexican-American War. He published several works on his involvement in the military, such as his Report on the Army of the Potomac. This work is a collection of war reports from the Eastern portion of the Civil War. According to Nevins, this work is

“…essential to any student of McClellans campaigns; rich in documents and data, but defensive in tone.”



Larned has a curious account of this work.

“It is, in short a letter to the people of the United States, under cover to the Secretary of War…He has omitted many documents essential to the formation of a just opinion; and it is only when we have read these also, in the Report, that we feel the full weight of the cumulative evidence going to show the hearty support in men and confidence that he received from the administration. Report is a political manifesto, and not only that, but an attack on the administration which appointed him to the command, supported him with all its resources and whose only fault it was not sooner to discover his incapacity to conduct aggressive movements.”
