Synopsis

Letter Of The Secretary Of War: Transmitting Report Of The Orgranization Of The Army Of The Potamac, And Of Its Campaigns In Virginia And Maryland, Under The Command Of Maj. Gen. George B. Mcclennan, From July 26, 1861, To November 7, 1862. George B. McClellan is the narrator and commander of the Army of the Potomac. This formal War Department record documents the organization of the army and its campaigns in Virginia and Maryland from mid-1861 to late-1862, using a chronological, documentary approach that blends narrative prose with telegraphic dispatches, orders, and reflections on command decisions, casualties, and logistics. It covers the Peninsula Campaign, the defense of Washington, Harper's Ferry operations, and the Antietam campaign, highlighting strategic debates, supply bottlenecks, and political-military pressures shaping Union strategy. It emphasizes logistics and professional reform, arguing for a stronger staff, larger cavalry, revamped depots, and better transport networks as essential to sustained military effectiveness. The work closes with recommendations for reorganizing and strengthening the Army of the Potomac.
