Major General Henry Wager Halleck
(18th and 19th Centuries )
In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Halleck "general-in-chief of all U.S. land forces"-the liaison between the president and the forces in the field. Acquaintances recalled Halleck as "a regimental clerk with the personality of a cold muffin." Ritchie, a Scottish-born artist, was known chiefly for his prints.
