however, mcclellan was adamant. and as he very carefully, the second time he went back with his whole staff, engineers and so forth, he laid out that concept. then they reluctantly agreed to it. but although they did approve to his concept of this turning movement through the chesapeake bay, they insisted that before he remove his forces from washington, he agreed to leave enough forces there to defend washington in 1862, and that insistence on a garrison force, a defense force around the nation's capital would prove to be a recurring irritant between mcclellan in the field, the secretary of war, stanton, and the president throughout 1862. and he would not be the only general to have that discussion with people in the washington area. before mack's plan go sailing down the chesapeake with all those soldiers to be put into place, however, abraham lincoln had one or two shots in his qui quiver to fire. in january of 1862, president lincoln issued general war order number one which mandated offensive action by all elem

mcclellan. we're going to open up our phone lines for your thoughts and your comments and questions about the day and hear your comments for john mountcastle as well. a couple of ways you can participate by phone, the numbers are 202-3885. and also for the mountain and pacific it's 585-3886. we wanted to remind you in case you missed today's procedure at the library of virginia, we will reair all of this in its entirety including the phone segments this evening at 6:00 p.m. eastern and 1:00 a.m. eastern on sunday morning. that's ahead of us. also this afternoon if you don't get through on the phones if you want to make a comment at twitter.com you can do that and the handle we're using for twitter is totw1862. and also on facebook, facebook.com/cspan. before we speak to john mountcastle. a tweet from tammy price. she says her choice for person of the year 1862 would be frederick douglass although i think lincoln would be better for this year than for last year. you may recall we covered this eve

mcclellan really these people in congress. then, as now, united states congress didn't include very many members who had any personal experience of man nufrg troops or even living in the mcclellan felt agrieved at this. as he wrote to his wife, "makes me feel heavy at heart when i see the weakness and the unfitness of the poor beings who control the destiny of our country." this is not from a gallup poll [ laughter ] >> we should note that in all honesty, mcclellan didn't get along with the congress, although they did all right with the democrats. and the bloom was off the rose a bit in his relationship with his former business partner or business associate from illinois, abraham lincoln. it's about this time that he began occasionally to refer to the president in letters to his wife ellen as "the original guerilla." for their part, many members of congress were just as equally out of love with mcclellan. and they just thought, i'm not sure this young man has the fortitude to fight. he's a good talker, but is he a fighter? in

george clinton mcclellan of philadelphia. i see we have some philadelphia fans in the audience. if you go over here to the virginia bookstore, you can buy the little napkins, you know, that says to be born in virginia is really something special. philadelphia, you can't buy them. your money's not good enough, you know? you have to have a pedigree. graduated number two in his class, west point, class of 1846. he was commissioned in the corps of engineers. not like people like george picket, vovshoveled into the in tray, the smartest guys typically went into the corps of engineers. in the decade following that war he was one of a group of young proteges of the very, very active, engaged secretary of war jefferson davis. because geoff davis hjeff davis bit of confidence in young captain mcclellan in the 1850s he was part of a handpicked group that he sent to the crimea in the siege of sebastopol. mcclellan established a reputation then as being very, very intelligent in his approach to dealing with british and french engineers and sent some excellent reports back to the united stat

mcclellan has the perfect opportunity. but does not follow-up. and lee fought at sharpsburg or antietam. we will make our stand on those hills, he said. some troops as they approach the position. hindsight if nothing else compels the question why. why did lee decide to stand and fight an enemy he knew would have many more guns and many more men and guns than the army of northern virginia, and he has the potomac river at his back and only one fort over the river in the event he needed a route of escape, and that fort was on his extreme right flank. any answer must depend upon conjecture. maybe lee believed that he would have to fight mcclellan somewhere and soon and so he chose to fight here and now. maybe he was afraid his army would only grow weaker from lack of rations and an increase of straggling if he attempted to maneuver more. and so elected to fight before his strength eroded still further. maybe lee believed that his defensive position would be sufficiently strong to achieve a malverne hill in reverse, that is, let the enemy beat himself

and he's going to fall upon mcclellan's flank with 45,000 troops. and then he's going to bring jackson in from the valley with 20,000 more to attack mcclellan's rear. here is this guy, 200 soldiers at harper's ferry and now he's commanding, add all that up. 25,000, 47,000, 20,000, 92,000 people. and, guy goby god, it worked, f limited perspective anyway. mcclellan was halted, embarrassed and overrun, at least on his flank at gaines mill and lost his nerve and called for a change of base, which sounded like a skedaddle. a withdrawal to the james river, and lee followed. in his general order, he wrote on thursday, june 26th, the powerful and thoroughly equipped army of the enemy was entrenched in works vast and extent and most formidable in character within the sight of our capital. today the remains of that confident and threatening host lie upon the banks of the james river, 30 miles -- that's a little bit -- more like 23, i think. 30 miles from richmond, seeking to recover under the protection of its gunboats from the effects of the series of disas

george brenton mcclellan of philadelphia. i see we have some philadelphia fans in the audience [ laughter ] >> if you go over here to the virginia bookstore you can buy those little napkins that say "to be born a virginiaen is really something special." in philadelphia you can't buy them. your money is not good enough, you know? you have to have a pedigree [ laughter ] >> graduated number two in his class at west point, 1846. he was commissioned in the corps of engineers. unlike people like george picket, he went into the corps of engineers. he was a veteran of the war with mexico where he served with distinction. in the decade following that war he was one of a group of young protege's of the very, very active, engaged secretary of war jefferson davis. because jeff davis had quite a bit of confidence in young captain mcclellan in 1850s, he was part of a hand-picked group that davis sent to the crimea to observe the french and british in their siege of sabastapol held by the russians. mcclellan established a reputation then a

it's okay. >> mcclellan was very smart. so he built 20 officers. ten were for the russians, ten for us and left the doors open so we could wander in and out. the manager of the -- on the soviet side who was there to help us came in to me very agitated one day. he said, come over here. i came to the top. we could look down. he pointed to you. >> uh-oh. >> he said, she has to go home. and i said, what are you talking about? she's not american. i said, what do you mean she's not american? she's american as i am. no. she speaks russian like me without an accent. >> oh, my god. >> i said, of course. her mother was born here. and they spoke russian at home. you had told me that. >> uh-huh. >> but i never told you that. >> i appreciate that. >> he just threw up his hands. >> thank you for keeping me there. >> before i show you the next photo i want you to know that we did not -- nobody has paid product placement. can we see the next photo, please? george, how did you get to be -- >> you haven't changed a bit, george. >> you haven't changed a bit, george.

and the whole discussion was mcclellan says where do you think we ought to go? how do we do this, i said i was in the army, i said you choose the places i'll put up my hand and lead, we decided that and basically mcclellan that there would be first in the first color studio in the world. none of us had seen color television, if you wanted to record a program, you had to put a camera in those days, up until '59, 16 millimeter camera, and what was it called? >> jason, let's look at the ambassador bringing in khrushchev, not ambassador then. bringing in khrushchev. so you were going to first bring them to the rca. >> then we would go past the helena rubenstein where the women were getting facials. >> don kendall wanted to sign a contract and kept hammering us, got to have khrushchev drink pepsi. so -- >> which they didn't like. >> what happened is we were going to go we there anyway, you know better than i do, the society pretended they -- we had very pretty russian girls in pepsi uniforms, and i said, if we go closer i'll bet you they will cry out, mr. premiere. t

he thought he could fight mcclellan on the defensive. whatever. he stayed put on the 18th all but daring mcclellan to renew the offensive. and then finally, barely, was able to get across butler's ford and back across the potomac into virginia. and then, of course, he fought on december 13th at fredericksburg. the plain between fredericksburg and crossed a significant drainage ditch, then the attacking ranks had to cross more open ground to confront a sunken road which formed a perfect four-foot trench for

it was so important that mcclellan decided that the ampex man should get on the plane and take it back to the networks. nothing happened for one day, for two days, there was a gap. and then about the third day, it appeared on television and i never knew until one day on an airplane i was sitting next to frank stanton of cbs and he told me that they had it, great pressure from the white house and state department, to hold up until they had a chance to confer with the russians and tell them what we were going to do. >> the next picture please, jason? tanya, you were in another part of the house at the time of the debate, right? you were in the model house. >> the house was split in two, so they didn't come through it they stood at the front of it. >> we cut it in half, 20 and 20 feet. >> what strike me here, this is a little bit of an aside, hope you give me the moment to say this, normally if you have an american or let's say anybody's home, in the sense we had invited khrushchev to come to our house, we worked very hard to put this together, and it's quite unusual when you have say a g

he meets mcclellan and is impressed with his manley bearing. he says, no, all this criticism of mcclellan you shouldn't buy into it. >> again, the contemporary, there are so many and so deep. this is nathaniel hawthorne, well established in the form of american letters. >> and for good reason. >> and for very good reason. you can look at him and identify his type today, which is cynical journalists going to washington. not every good journalist has cynicism. but this is all -- and the irony is so then -- he had been discovered by one of the editors henry fields who is instrumental in getting hawthorne a national audience. fields commissions this piece not knowing what's coming of it. he is alarmed because the publication was abolitionist in a stance. hawthorne sort of has a jaundiced view of the abolitionist cause. and like henry vallard, describes lincoln in unpresidential ways. he's coarse, uncouth. again, we're talking in the 1860s. they do this for a very post modern thing. it gets edited out. >> and hawthorne gets mad. >> he's inserted all

gee whiz, jack mountcastle, george mcclellan, what an interesting choice. it's my great pleasure to introduce our fifth and final nominator, emery thomas. he drove up from athens, georgia, where he's a professor of history emeritus at the university of georgia, but he's really coming home. he and his wife fran are native richmo richmonders. as a matter of fact, emery starred on the thomas jefferson high school football team as the center and the quarterback was james henry benford p.iii who is now the superintendent at the virginia military institute. emery went from thomas jefferson to the university of virginia, where he was a two-sports star. one as the center on the football team, and two is the captain of the party team at the deke house. emery has written widely and perceptively on many aspects of confederate history and biography including the volume about the confederacy in the new american nation series, an acclaimed biographies of jeb stewart and robert e. lee. he's an old friend of the museum of the confederacy and has written and lectured about

mcclellan and johnston both equipped by nature did nothing, absolutely nothing.hey were as full of lasitude as any major in american history and have been. and during that encrusted epic jackson had no opportunities nor did anyone else. we often think about what if in the parallel universe it strikes me that it would be interesting to contemplate what would have happened had the northern or southern armies been led by someone with a metabolism facing the other one during that long sitzkrieg how would the war have resulted? it's hard to say. the opening scenes of stonewall's tenure in the shenandoah valley really did not lend themselves to legend building. in a note that most of you may not have heard, in fact, but is pretty interesting, he handled some of his very early orders for the tiny force he commanded when he moved to the valley before he got a bit of reinforcement. he denominated his army, "the army of the monongahela." had you haird heard that? that's an awful long way from winchester, virginia. that's where he was thinking to choose that title. his firs

nothing had happened in the orbit where george mcclellan were doing nothing. in the west, things were happening and terp they were all bad. suddenly there was someone in virginia who was succeeding. the compilations are everywhere from the civilian diaries, from the soldiers letters about how the world had changed when jackson started to succeed. good news had been in miserly short supply and now it was everywhere viewed with more importance than it really deserved from the somewhat secondary theater of the shenandoah valley. down here in richmond whereby this point there were federal troops in profusion laying siege, not literally, but besieging the confederate national capital p about the soldiers here wrote about it from afar and started to wish that they had jackson instead of their own leaders. here's a fellow in the brigade writing home, middle of may, the news of the gallon plant achievements has been received enthusiastically.plant achievements has been received enthusiastically. this is one of my heavy motifs, the impact on people, hair attitude towar

he has mcclellan's who knows everything about training and nothing about fighting. he has this funny guy the ones in a while had alcohol problems out in the west who seems to win. and he has this old cacophony of experts and relatives being thrust upon him, and somehow through several years of trial and error, he keeps making mistakes until he comes up with grant and sherman and thomas and he finally gets people who can beat the confederate generals. and it is a wonderful lesson because, you know, he does not have a revelation. he does not come in and get it right. and even when he had doubts about a general, he knows there are political issues about removing him. it is a wonderful lesson in a truly great man pursuing great ends with huge constraints. and what makes it great as he does not do it flawlessly but he does it adequately. >> after lincoln we mentioned in the same brand churchill and lincoln -- church hill was a man who failed a lot. not flsawed in the usual way -- not flawed in the usual way, maybe by ego and arrogance, and yet in his grand time -- he had

absolutely was, popular opinion was inclined to blame lee for a lack of complete success in corralling mcclellan's army, defeating it more thoroughly, capturing more of it, and none of the public press, none of the public, blamed jackson. and in fact exactly the reverse was the case before every onces in a while the newspapers get it wrong. or they did then. i guess now they have it all straightened out. this entirely unfair judgment survived in the minds of the public right along. and to the degree that jackson did do it in the valley, it was in part as a man pes tags of this business i've mentioned to you about the impact on men's minds. his failure during the campaign seemed surely to be the result of stress fatigue or some diminution of his source. i have an extensive chapter looking just at what happened to jab s jackson and why during that week entitled sleepless in the saddle because i think that probably was the root of the problem. but northerners facing up against jackson's corps were terrified when they heard that mighty stonewall had shown up. one of my favorite quotes from that week c

i will ask terry mcclellan to give the substance but i want to frame the issue. if you will pardon the analogy, we're building the ship as we are sailing in. this has never been done before. there has never been an event that has required the coordination, federal, state, and local of the bay area. we have learned a lot. stephen berkley would agree that when we were negotiating with using a model that was based on the wojciech contract which was the most recent one. in hindsight it was not the right model. we were putting a round peg in a square hole. we're looking back a year later and say what kind of modifications do we need to make on a number friends? having said all that, we committed as the america's cup organizing committee to use our best efforts to raise this $32 million that is estimated the tax payers would expand to host this event. as one of the key indicators was and relates to other issues involved in the america's cup but 37 days after ceqa certification we would be in a position to demonstrate that roughly one-third in this case, $12 million hav

the head coach todd mcclellan hit in the head by a minnesota player's stick. he had watched the rest of the game from an office. he did get on the team plane to fly home. 4-3 so the sharks finish this road trip at 2-6-1. diane, they are glad to be home on tuesday because it has been a tough run. >> absolutely. thanks a lot. that's all for now. we'll see you at 11:00. thanks for choosing the bay area.

but if you think of the one thing that they were able to do, if you look at mcclellan and you look at hooker, just to mention two, they knew how to deal with feeding people, they knew how to deal with working on morale, taking care of their soldiers, so you're right. the problem was they had no experience, had no experience with actually leading people on the battlefield. and consequently, when they were forced to deal with an army -- imagine, an army of 60,000 men. where don't we throw that off. it's only an army of 20,000 men. my town of sparkle, mississippi is only about 24,000 people. that would mean we would have to organize everybody in town to get an army of less than 30,000. and i'm going to be the general, with my four years of west point experience, a little bit of experience in the mexican war, and i'm going to organize this force to lead an assault on mississippi state university just two miles down the road? i don't think so. and i think what it does come down to is nobody is ready for this war. nobody is prepared, and i think what frank says is right. lincoln came to und
