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



“The Union, which can alone insure 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 McClellan was an important American soldier and officer during the American Civil War and the Mexican-American War. He published a number of 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 McClellan’s campaigns; rich in documents and data, but defensive in tone.”



Larned publishes 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.”
