– George B. McClellan

He published a number of works on his involvement in the military, such as his 'Report on the Army of the Potomac'. This work is a collection of war reports from the Eastern portion of the Civil War. According to Nevins, this work is
"essential to any student of McClellan's campaigns; rich in documents and data, but defensive in tone."
