In 1861, when the Civil War began few generals on either side had experience commanding troop formations larger than a single regiment. In the rugged mountains and forests of western Virginia, Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan received their first opportunities to command an army in combat - against each other. This book is a gripping account of this crucial - yet often overlooked - campaign of the Civil War. The author provides scores of little known yet fascinating historical details such as a number of "firsts" in the Civil War including first land battle, first death of a general, first telegraph to accompany an American army to battle and more. Although overshadowed by bigger and bloodier battle to come, Lee and McClellan's first campaign shows each mans preparations and destiny.
