In the four years of its existence the Army of the Potomac had to atone for the errors of its generals on many a bitter field. This happened so many times-it was so normal, so much the regular order of things for this unlucky army-that it is hardly possible to take the blunders which marred its various battles and rank them in the order of magnitude of their calamitous stupidity.
