    Description

    This hardcover volume measures ~5 3/4" x 8 3/4", and contains 281 pp, including 8 illustrations and 12 maps. From the book Preface:  "To possess some knowledge of the seven Union generals who commanded the Army of the Potomac from 1861 to 1865 is to start oneself well on the road toward a comprehension of the main Federal military effort in the East.  . . . This study attempts to assay the stewardship of these men as commanders of the Army of the Potomac; to examine their handling of the army on campaign, and to look at their administrative and organizing talents; to delineate their more significant characteristics of a personal nature; to investigate their military-political relations with the President, the Secretary of War, and the Congress, as well as their rapport with the General-in-Chief at Washington."
