HOOKER, JOSEPH
When President Lincoln could no longer tolerate General George B. McClellan’s “waiting campaign” tactics, he relieved McClellan and placed General Joseph Hooker in charge of the army.
General Hooker, eager to convey the impression of vigorous activity, reported his movements to the president in a dispatch labeled “Headquarters in the Saddle.”
“The trouble with Hooker,” remarked Lincoln, examining the dispatch, “is that he’s got his headquarters where his hindquarters ought to be.”
