Critique of Army of the Potomac and Eastern Press
The piece argues generals mismanaged campaigns near the Rappahannock and Chancellorsville, credits Grant's late actions, condemns Stoneman's raid as minor, and claims eastern papers underrate western troops' achievements while praising Hooker and urging broader credit for northern soldiers. It pleads for balanced recognition of all Union efforts in the war.
