MCCLELLAN, GEORGE B.
(1826 - 1885) Union major general and general-in-chief of the army whose hesitation in attacking Confederate forces caused him to be sacked by Lincoln. A.L.S. ""Geo. B. McClellan"" 2pp. 8vo., 77 Hudson St., Oct. 19, 1869, to Gen. Henry Abbot concerning his acceptance as honorary member of the Club of the Engineer Corps, in part: ""àI [?] be very induced to forget, or be forgotten by the old Corps in which I found the first nine years of my army life, and with which I went through my first service in the field. The older I grow the more I find myself clinging to those early associations, and the more warmly do I respondà"". Very good.
