This is the well-known photograph of Abraham Lincoln standing with Gen. George B. McClellan inside the general's tent at Antietam, taken in October 1862 when the president visited the Army of the Potomac's camp near the battlefield. Lincoln, in his tall stovepipe hat, is shown beside the general, who was then commanding the army and whose cautious handling of his troops frustrated the president through much of that year. The visit came weeks after the bloody battle at Antietam and was meant to press McClellan to pursue Robert E. Lee's retreating army. Alexander Gardner, a leading Civil War photographer, is generally credited with the image.
