Indeed. Mcclellan was popular with
the army, as whole, down to the very
last. His manners were simple and
unaffected. He was always in uniform
but readily approachable. His person

and spoke both French and Spanish
like a native. He was very connois-

could teach him, and indeed was an
adept In all branches of the military
profession, except the last and most
important one of all, and that is, how
to fight and conquer.
