Tiffany, Almost any general history of the Civil War will mention Henry Halleck as he started in a well known position, moved up and had a few arguements with the brass while chief of Generals, one of the last positions as chief of staff for General Grant. Certain that he had pocket change for cigars and whiskey at all times. I met another Henry Halleck several years ago who worked for the same company until the whole place fell apart. He is related to this famous general. Again all the history books whether general or specific will have a lot more on this man, he was involved in the second battle of Bull Run, he was now a Major General and had been transferred from the West to be general in chief. My Brady (famous photographer) book does not have an index as such but I am certain that a number of pictures exist of him. I do not have the book on the generals at this time, it has been loaned. There should be a number of items on the web about him too. Here is a short bio: http://www.civilwarhome.com/halleckbio.htm and it has a picture. Here is a more unbiased bio: http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/books/cg&csa/Halleck-HW.htm and the picture is more formal and commanding. Note that he was born in Westerville, Oneida county, north and not far away..... Golden Gate Park (San Francisco) has a statue of him in the East end: http://www.lightight.com/GGP/mem_images/Mem4P25.html Yahoo search came up with 3690 citations alone for General Henry Halleck, you can have fun for a long time with this amount of information online. There must be 30 to 50 books on the Civil War in my library that will mention the General, therefore any good library will have a number of entries on him and the War. From a very hot North Carolina.
