Marc,
Thank you for responding.  First, is there any literature that you could
direct me to that would cover McClellan that a Google won't uncover?

Second, as to Grant, he seemed to do pretty well with the Western
campaigns in Missouri, Tennessee, and Mississippi with troops that had
been newly formed up.  Now I will grant you that he had Sherman under
his command in the latter part of these campaigns which was of immense
tactical advantage.

Any comments would be helpful.

Thank you,

Don

Marc said in part:

Training WAS McClellan's forte.  He took a dispirited, disorganized,
ill-equipped, and untrained Army under his wing after First Manassas and
soon organized, trained, and equipped it to be a magnificent force.
