 Detailed Description
Philip Katcher. For Gen. George B. McClellan, the dejected Union troops defeated at Bull Run in July 1861 were to provide the raw material that he would train, equip, organize and ultimately transform from a mere mob into an effective fighting force. In October 1861, the Army of the Potomac officially came into being. This volume explores how this transition came about, with a particular emphasis on weapons, uniforms and equipment. 48 pgs., 40 B&W and 24 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd.
