General McClellan at the battle of Antietam, American Civil War, 1862 (c1880)
General McClellan at the battle of Antietam, American Civil War, 1862 (c1880). George Brinton McClellan (1826-1885) was commanding general of the Union army in the early part of the American Civil War. The Battle of Antietam, fought on 17 September 1862, was the first battle of the war to be fought on Union (northern) soil. It was the bloodiest single day battle in American history, with nearly 23, 000 casualties. Frustrated by what he perceived as his excessive caution, President Lincoln relieved McClellan of command after Antietam. A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the American Civil War in 1862. The image captures General McClellan at the Battle of Antietam, a pivotal moment in history. George Brinton McClellan, the commanding general of the Union army during that time, is seen deep in discussion with his fellow soldiers on the battlefield. The Battle of Antietam holds great significance as it was not only fought on Union soil but also marked the bloodiest single day battle in American history. With nearly 23,000 casualties, this brutal conflict left an indelible mark on both sides. However, despite his role in this historic event, General McClellan's excessive caution frustrated President Lincoln. As a result, he relieved him of command after Antietam. This decision would shape the course of the war and its outcome. This engraving from Cassells History of the United States provides us with a glimpse into a defining moment in our nation's past. It serves as a reminder of sacrifice and bravery exhibited by these men who fought for their country amidst turmoil and uncertainty. As we reflect upon this image print today, let us honor those who have come before us and appreciate their dedication to preserving our freedom.
