Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-16 00:00:00 Ingegerd Silvis ...Both McClellan and Lincoln pleaded with the press to keep secret the information they received about troop movements. The reporters, in turn, were generally ignorant about all matters of military strategy and tactics. Like their papers, they were actively partisan in their politics. Using the heroic language of chivalry, they often produced ignorant and outmoded dispatches. They therefore came to depend on official news briefings provided by the War Department. Charles A. Dana once received the following battle report from a Tribune reporter in the early days of the war: "To God Almighty be the glory! Mine eyes have seen the work of the Lord and the cause of the righteous hath triumphed." Wrote Dana in reply: "Hereafter, in sending you reports, please specify the number of the hymn and save telegraph expenses."
