To our greatest American Field General:

"He failed to rise above local professional concerns and view the war as a whole, displaying little interest or understanding of the overall strategic situation, demonstrating a predilection for Virginia - and Virginians - to the exclusion of all other theaters."

--"A Civil War Treasury" by A.A. Nofi
