In Eckley, Pa

Wonderful detail available. Educational for modeling, for me, at least.

Could that be a carriage house in the rear?
Seems right. Today it would be a garage.
I agree, Murph. It would be a nice scene
for you to model.

I would conclude that the ornate base of a pedestal, visible behind the General's chair, is the bottom of what is reaching upward, holding his head still.

I don't know what's holding the Mrs. up and steady. Pluck?

Grit and her spine.

Yes. I am certain she had plenty of backbone - seems a determined woman, a proper gal, for those times.

I spit on his grave.

Now, there's a conversation-starter. I'll bite - may I ask why you say so?

Great organizer of an army. Period. Arrogant little *****.
More afraid of losing than winning (as opposed to Grant). Botched the Peninsula Campaign. Could have destroyed Lee at Antietam. Didn't.
Despised and back-stabbed Lincoln.
Ran against Lincoln in '64...was a Southern sympathizer.
There are books...

George B. McClellan and Mary Ellen Marcy (Nelly) McClellan

McClellan put all of his faith in Pinkerton, without using his own Army Intelligence, and Pinkerton was always extremely inaccurate with his estimates of enemy strength. Usually over exaggerated. Even so, Lincoln put him in charge of the Army of the Potomac twice, and he failed both times. If you're prone to conspiracy theories, maybe he blew it on purpose. At that, gettin' him out of the leadership was the best thing that could happen. He did excel in Army logistics, though, and was a very good organizer in outfitting and supplying a large army. So history is written; so let it be done.
