Example text
On the eve of the battle, Lincoln wrote to General D. N. Couch: “I judge by absence of news that the enemy is not crossing or pressing up to the Susquehanna. Please tell me what you know of his movements” (qtd. in Nicolay and Hay 15, v. IX). During the 3-day battle he spent almost all his time in a telegraph office, trying to remain in touch with his commanders. Lee, still hoping for a victory on Northern territory, gathered about 75,000 men against General Meade’s 90,000. His reconnaissance group failed, however, and he could not discover the size and location of the enemy until it was too late.
Lincoln, disappointed with the general’s actions, even remarked, “If McClellan is not using the army I should like to borrow it for a while” (qtd. in Nicolay and Hay 141, v. VII). Even on the day of the Battle of Shiloh, in a telegram he impatiently advised McClellan: “I think you better break the enemy’s line from Yorktown to Warwick River at once. This will probably use time as advantageously as you can” (qtd. in Nicolay and Hay 140, v. VII). On April 9, soon after more details of the battle had reached the White House, Lincoln was still dissatisfied with McClellan’s use of his huge army and wrote to him: My Dear Sir: Your dispatches, complaining that you are not properly sustained, while they do not offend me, do pain me very much .
Qtd. in Nicolay and Hay 16, v. VIII) More than a month later Lincoln was concerned with military developments in Virginia. In a telegram to McClellan he asked about “the news from the front,” and he wrote twice to General Burnside inquiring about any news from General Pope (qtd. in Nicolay and Hay 18, 19, v. VIII), whose army had already gathered in the vicinity of Manassas. Over a year after the First Battle of Bull Run, the Union Army of Virginia led by General John Pope had to face the Confederates at almost exactly the same site near the Bull Run stream.
