At the outbreak of war, it was Winfield Scott - a fine soldier in his day, but far too old by then, and he had to retire in November 1861.

Lincoln and his Secretary of War then fulfilled that role themselves until July 1862, when they appointed Henry Halleck, who was replaced by Grant in March 1864.
