General George B. McClellan's first noteworthy accomplishment displayed him as a military officer with a high level of ambition and an officer quite willing to accept disappointment. Four days after being commissioned as major general of the Ohio volunteers, he sent off a letter to then General in Chief, Winfield Scott. His letter of April 27, 1861 is noteworthy for being the first strategic plan by a Union general for carrying on the war on a large scale. General Scott had been one of the top military generals on the young USA, and made it clear to McClellan that it was seriously flawed. But it inspired Scott to reply to formulate a strategy of his own. This became the famous Anaconda Plan.
