Irwin McDowell. In numbers it was the greatest army ever organized in America up to that time. But in fact, it was badly organized, badly sup plied, and the men were mostly militia of little training, and lacking the hardy readiness of the volunteers of earlier years. Notwithstanding, the civilian popular leaders of the North, notably Horace Greeley, demanded that this army go out and fight at once and put down the Rebel lion. They believed the war could be ended within four months after the bo...mbardment of Fort Sutnter. At last Lincoln yielded, and ordered McDowell to start an offensive. On July 16, McDowell began his march to Manasses, a distance of thirty miles, with 35, 000 men. His soldiers carried thr^e-days rations in their knap sacks. They marched under a hot sun over dusty roads. Most of the men wore their ordinary civilian shoes in which they had left home, and many of the officers wore fashionable calfskin boots, nice looking in parades through city streets, but useless in war.
