CHAPTER FIFTEEN: WHAT WILL THE COUNTRY SAY!

T. Harry Williams, Lincoln and His Generals (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1952), offers a spirited account of Lincoln's unhappy efforts to identify able commanders.

Klement, The Copperheads in the Middle West (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1960), offer conflicting interpretations.
