" And why had we failed ?" was a not unfrequent question ; and Congress took up the refrain. Jealousy, rivalry and inordinate am- bition doubtless had much to do with our misfortunes ; but the great fault did not lie there.

A military writer whose attention was at- tracted to this subject at this time, wrote : " Two armies of equal numbers and commanded with equal ability, being opposed to each other, the...ir move- ments and achievements must be entirely determined by the nature of the theatre of operations. Perhaps never in the history of warfare has the character of the ground exerted more influence on campaigns, than that of the por- tion of Virginia which lies between Washington and Richmond.
