The Wargamer - Historical Article: No Glory But Victory: The Triumph of the Army of the Potomac The Army of the Potomac had five commanding officers, counting Ulysses S. Grant who as General-in-Chief of all the Union armies campaigned with the Army of the Potomac and essentially funneled his orders through George Meade.

U.S. Grant, "Taking Command of the Army of the Potomac" I was a stranger to most of the Army of the Potomac, I might say to all except the officers of the regular army who had served in the Mexican war.

On the 10th [March 1864] I visited the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac at Brandy Station [Virginia]; then returned to Washington, and pushed west at once to make my arrangements for turning over the commands there and giving general directions for the preparations to be made for the spring campaign. www.sewanee.edu /faculty/Willis/Civil_War/documents/GrantCommand.html   (847 words)
