Lincoln came toview tlie Army of the Potomac, as he had done at Harrisons Landing. Puzzled to understand how Lee could have circumvented asuperior force on the Peninsula, he was now anxious to learn why a crushing blow had not been struck. Lmcoln (after Gettysburg)expressed the same thought: Our army held the war in the hollow of their hand and they would not close it! On Lincolns rightstands Allan Pinkerton, the famous detective and organizer of the Secret Service of the army. At the Presidents left is GeneralJohn A. McClernand, soon to be entrusted by Lincoln with reorganizing military operations in the West.
