George B. McClellan was a second lieutenant in the formation of combat engineers that accompanied Maj. Gen. Winfield Scotts army of invasion during the Mexican War (1846 1848). His diary and correspondence written during this period records a rich record of the campaign and offers unique insights into the character of his fellow Engineers, the friction that arose between professional soldiers, officers and men of the volunteer regiments that made up Scotts command, and much about the character of the young Napoleon, reflecting the talent, the ambition, and the arrogance that characterized the engineer, businessman, soldier, and future politician.
