Regarded as anonymously written fiction originally published in 1864, this is a rollicking story of the way it was in the Army of the Potomac & a thinly disguised attack on the character & military ability of Gen. Andrew A. Humphreys. In a comprehensive commentary, the editor identifies the main players & units & taps primary sources that support the original author's view. A masterpiece of historic sleuthing & disciplined research, this edition of Red-Tape & Pigeon-Hole Generals may change the way some historians view Humphreys.
