LC Subject
United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Portraits
Description
A leader who fought, but who won more by marches than others won by fighting and author of the most popular definition of war. At West Point, he tells us, "I was not considered a good soldier." When at the outbreak of the war he left Louisiana State Seminary, of which he was superintendent, and went up to Washington. He found Lincoln "too radical" to suit him and left profanely declaring the "politicians have got the country into the trouble, now let them get it out". This early attitude is interesting particularly as it underwent such a change.
