Photographer: Matthew Brady, LOC
Taken: 1861
Caption: Gen. George B. McClellan (1826-1855)
Additional Description: Despite significant advantages in manpower, McClellan was unable to concentrate his forces effectively, which meant that Lee was able to shift his defenders to parry each of three Union thrusts, launched separately and sequentially against the Confederate left, center, and finally the right. And McClellan was unwilling to employ his ample reserve forces to capitalize on localized successes.
