Meigs, Union Army quartermaster general, built the vast supply system that equipped 700000 troops in 1861 and oversaw contracts totaling 1.5 billion dollars. He arranged logistics from rail to river transport, defended against dishonest contractors, and helped Lincoln coordinate with McClellan when war needs surged.
