Description

For General George B. McClellan; the dejected Union troops who poured into Washington fresh from defeat at Bull Run on Monday; July 22; 1861; were to provide the raw material which he would train; equip; organize and ultimately transform from a mere mob into an effective fighting force. In October 1861; the Army of the Potomac officially came into being. This entertaining volume from the same team of author Philip Katcher and artist Michael Youens who produced Men-at-Arms 37; The Army of Northern Virginia; explores how this transition came about; with a particular emphasis on weapons; uniforms and equipment.
