The poor fellow turned out unimportant.
His name is unfavourably linked to the first pitched battle of the war, urged on Lincoln by politicans and press, who were impatient for some good war stories.
As army commander, McDowell knew that his troops were not ready for operations, but had to go ahead anyway. He did a creditable job, but the battle was lost, and he was never able to distinguish himself after that.
