General George B. McClellan, a prominent figure during the American Civil War, is captured in various moments throughout history. In an intriguing photograph from 1862, taken by an unknown creator, we see General McClellan standing tall and confident. Known as "Little Mac, " he was admired for his leadership skills and strategic brilliance. Another captivating image from 1864, created by John L Magee, depicts General McClellan in his great two-horse act during the presidential campaign of that year. This portrayal showcases his charisma and charm as he sought to secure the highest office in the land. In another political cartoon also crafted by Magee in 1864, titled "Chicago Nominee: 'I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest. . Where be your gibes now. . '" we witness a satirical representation of McClellan's opponents mocking him. Despite this ridicule, he remained undeterred on his quest for presidency. An anonymous artist captures the essence of opposition towards McClellan with their artwork titled "Copperheads Worshipping Their Idol" circa 1864. It portrays those who opposed him as blindly devoted followers worshipping their idol. The struggle for power is further depicted through an anonymous piece called "Little Mac Trying to Dig His Way to the White House. " Created around 1864, it humorously illustrates how even though determined to reach his goal, fear holds him back. A thought-provoking creation named "The Chicago Platform: What is It? Peace or War?" circa 1864 questions where exactly McClellan stands on crucial matters such as peace and war during this tumultuous time in American history. Moving away from politics momentarily brings us to images showcasing General McClellan's military prowess. An unidentified artist presents us with a glimpse into life at headquarters during Harrison's Landing circa 1862 while Alexander Gardner captures a serene scene in Pleasant Valley, Maryland in October of the same year.
