Lincoln's Senior Generals: Photographs and Biographical Sketches of the Major Generals of the Union Army. This collection presents a unique view of the Union war effort, focusing on the 133 Major Generals appointed by President Abraham Lincoln to lead the army. The book features rare photographs, including cartes de visite, alongside biographical sketches of these senior commanders. The authors have compiled a candid account of the Union's high command during the Civil War, highlighting their varied backgrounds and inexperience in leading large armies. As the war progressed, some generals rose to prominence, while others faded from public view. This book provides a rare glimpse into the lives of these individuals and their roles in shaping the outcome of the conflict. Published in 2012, this volume offers a fascinating insight into the Union's military leadership during one of America's most tumultuous periods.
