McClellan" by George B. McClellan is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It presents a detailed narrative of McClellan's experiences as a young officer during the Mexican-American War, specifically from late 1846 through 1847. The diary gives insight into both the military engagements and daily life of soldiers, reflecting on McClellan's character and the circumstances of the time. The opening of the diary begins with McClellan's departure from West Point and his journey to join General Taylor’s army in Mexico. He describes the poor conditions of transport and the challenges faced at Brazos de Santiago, including the harsh environment and lack of proper supplies. As he arrives in Mexico, he documents his observations on the land, local inhabitants, and the discomforts of military life, revealing a blend of youthful enthusiasm and critical reflections on the military's organization and the volunteer troops’ performance. The narrative sets the stage for the unfolding military campaigns in which McClellan finds himself, all while showcasing his personality and perspectives during an influential period.
