Excerpt from Major-General George B. McClellan, From August 1st, 1861, to August 1st 1862
The army marched by the President twice, and the regiments then returned to their respective camps, the furthest fifteen miles distant, which they had left in the morning, and which every corps had reached again before 10 o'clock the same evening - thus a portion of the army with forty rounds of ammunition and fully equipped had marched thirty miles in one day and stood the fatigues of a review without any accident or casual-ity, and this to a large proportion were the same men of whom, in his official report of the battle of bull-run, July 22d, that is about three months before, General mcdowell said that they could not march four miles without getting foot-sore. So perfect were mcclellan's arrangements along the en tire line of his front, so complete the communication from every point to Headquarters, so well placed the reserves of all his outposts, that Beauregard, although he knew beforehand the day and place of this review, although from Munson's Hill he could almost see it, abstained from any demonstration whatever.
