To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Halleck, on the morning of the 27th of August, telegraphed to McClellan, who had arrived in Alexandria the day before, and through whom all reinforcements to Pope must pass, that " Frank- lin's corps should march in the direction of Manassas as soon as possible." Had this order been obeyed, Jackson's forces, defeated and driven by Pope on the 27th, would have been met near Centreville the next afternoon and crushed. Now I ask of the reader to bring all the attention and patience he can co-nmand..., while I show with what fertility of device, and what prodigality of ingenuity, Gen. McOlellan contrived so to arrange things that Pope should not get a man of these reinforcements; but should be left with his feeble force of less than forty thousand men to a death-grapple with the enemy that had lately defeated McClel- lan's once splendid army of one hundred and fifty thousand men : in other words, should be left to— I use Gen. MoClellan's own choice phraselogy— **^e^ out of his 9Cfape,** And I shall show that so completely successful was he that not a single man ever reached Pope after McClellan arrived at Alexandria, In this expose I shall take up events in their chronological order, beginning with the date of the first dispatch to McClellan with reference to the forwarding of re- tnforeements.
