Lincoln and Mcclellan: a Marriage of Convenience Turned Sour
TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XVI APRIL, 2014 LINCOLN AND MCCLELLAN: A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE TURNED SOUR Author: Kevin Caprice Faculty Sponsor: Daniel Crofts, Department of History ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION When observing the relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and General George B. McClellan, it is tempting to approach the story as a common one of hero versus villain. As Joseph Harsh explains in his essay on McClellan, the General’s “role in the Unionist scenario is all but predetermined. He is the first and sorriest of the candidates to try the patience of Lincoln.”1 While these anti-McClellan histories were not without basis, they failed to realize that Lincoln was not without fault in this relationship. The relationship between Lincoln and McClellan was indeed a marriage, but it was a marriage of convenience, and sadly for both men they married too young and inexperienced. McClellan was certainly a thorn in Lincoln’s side, but Lincoln did not yet know how properly to handle a general, so rather than walk around the sticker bush, Lincoln dove in headfirst. McClellan and Lincoln were both ill equipped to handle their new positions and both did things to one another that, had they encountered each other later in the war, they may not have done. Sadly for them, their relationship became a casualty of their inexperience. I. AS BACHELORS Abraham Lincoln’s story before meeting McClellan is well documented; briefly, he was born on February 12, 1809, in Kentucky. Lincoln came from poverty, received only one year of formal education, and worked hard for everything he accomplished. -

William Croghan, Sr
WILLIAM CROGHAN, SR. [1752-1822]: A PIONEER KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN BY SAMUEL W. THOMAS, PH.D. Louisville, Kentucky By 1790, William Croghan was prepared to build his country seat. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War, an accomplished surveyor, a rising entrepreneur, and within the year would become a father. The home he constructed a few miles northeast of Louisville, Kentucky, now on Blankenbaker Lane, withstood the test of time and in 1961 was purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the County of Jefferson. It has been restored by Jefferson County and Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. of Louisville to preserve and demonstrate a way of life led by a prominent pioneer Kentucky family and to serve as a fitting memorial to the home's most illustrious occupant, George Rogers Clark [1752-1818].1 William Croghan married General Clark's sister, Lucy Clark [1765-1838] in 1789 and the retired western military leader came to live permanently at the Croghan home, Locust Grove, in 1809. This paper is the result of the research program undertaken for the restoration of Locust Grove. The author wishes to thank Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. for its most generous support of the project. The land for Major Croghan's country seat was purchased on April 10, 1790, from a fellow surveyor, Hancock Lee [ca. 1736-1820]. The 387-acre tract near the fails of the Ohio River had been part of Colonel William Peachy's [1729-1802] 1,000-acre military land grant and its purchase cost 341 pounds.2 While the Georgian brick house was under construction, the family maintained a log cabin. -

II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters. -
