GEORGE McCLELLAN
Signed carte-de-visite, shown as major general, matted and framed to
8x9½
Photograph Mount signed: "Geo McClellan/Maj. Genl.". Sepia,
2½x4. Matted and framed to an overall size of 8x9½. McClellan (1826-1885) was
named General in Chief by President Lincoln in November 1861. He directed the
Peninsular Campaign and won at Antietam, but was removed by President Lincoln
for failure to continue the pressure on Lee's army. No match for Confederate
General Robert E. Lee as a field commander, but skilled at logistics and
organization, McClellan made a great contribution to eventual Union victory by
building the Army of the Potomac into a well trained and disciplined fighting
force. In 1864, he was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for President,
losing to Lincoln 233 electoral votes to 21. From 1878-1881, he was
Governor of New Jersey. Fine condition.
Not framed in the Gallery of History style.
