Synopsis
To be of any practical use, all history, and particularly military history, must be gradually sifted and reduced to small compass. To carry out this idea, the publishers have asked the writer to prepare for them, in a condensed form, that part of the History of the War of the Eebellion which includes the operations of the Army of the Potomac from the assumption of the command of that army by General Mc Clellan, in July, 1861, to its arrival at Harrison s Landing, in July, 1862. So much has been written on this subject that it would not at first appear to be a difficult matter to condense the various accounts ;but to the writers task has been added the special work recpired in comparing and collating for careful investigation the new material gathered by the War Department, and now for the first time made the basis of a history of that period. The results of that labor he presents in these pages.
