Eckenrode 1941, First Edition, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, NC, 296 pages. From the Dust Jacket, “This is more than the story of ‘Little Mac.’ It is the story also of that dark center of intrigue, the nation’s capital in 1862 - of Washington shaking in its shoes for fear of an invasion by ‘gaunt hairy beings riding into Washington like Centaurs and perhaps setting fire to the Capitol’; a Washington dominated by politicians and partisans, where party strife and bitterness were so strong that some members of the government itself preferred Union defeat to a victory which might make a Democrat a national hero and a presidential possibility.” Enhanced by a frontispiece photo of General McClellan and by 10 maps.
