…Presdt, Cabinet, Genl Scott & all deferring to me—by some strange operation of magic I seem to have become the power of the land. ... I almost think that were I to win some small success now I could become Dictator or anything else that might please me—but nothing of that kind would please me—therefore I won't be Dictator. Admirable self-denial!– George B. McClellan, July 26, 1861

Our success has not been as great or complete as we should have desired. ... Under ordinary circumstances the Federal Army should have been destroyed.General Robert E. Lee
My conscience is clear at least to this extent—viz.: that I have honestly done the best I could; I shall leave it to others to decide whether that was the best that could have been done—& if they find any who can do better am perfectly willing to step aside & give way.Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan

““... [E]very stalk of corn in the northern and greater part ... [E]very stalk of corn in the northern and greater part of the field was cut as closely as could have been done of the field was cut as closely as could have been done with a knife, and the [Confederates] slain lay in rows with a knife, and the [Confederates] slain lay in rows precisely as they had stood in their ranks a few moments precisely as they had stood in their ranks a few moments before.” Gen. Joseph Hookerbefore.” Gen. Joseph Hooker
“General McClellan had committed barely 50,000 infantry and artillerymen to the contest. A third of his army did not fire a shot. Even at that, his men repeatedly drove the Army of Northern Virginia to the brink of disaster, feats of valor entirely lost on a commander thinking of little beyond staving off his own defeat.”– Stephen W. Sears, Landscape Turned Red
