Next Meeting: September 18, 2008. Location: Quality Hotel & Suites, Norwood |
Speaker: John F. Marszalek, Starkville MS |
Topic: Lincoln's Hope for Victory: Henry W. Halleck, The General Who Refused to Command |
Mr. Marszalek’s presentation will focus on Union Major-General Henry W. Halleck, one of America's most successful, wealthiest, and most significant individuals of the ante-bellum period. Halleck continued his successes in the early years of the Civil War, so that, when President Abraham Lincoln appointed him commander of all the Federal armies, the nation was confident of military success. It turned out not to be. The successful businessman of the pre-Civil War years became the hesitant commanding general of the Civil War. Later when Grant took his place, Halleck became the first chief of staff in American history – and a very good one at that. His successes and failures and his relationship with Lincoln tell us a great deal about the military history of the Civil War. |
