VINTAGESTAN BOOKS
Title: The Gentleman and the Tiger. The Autobiography of George B. McClellan Jr. 
Summary: The Gentleman and the Tiger is the candid personal memoir of George B. McClellan Jr., an American politician best known as the son of Civil War General George B. McClellan and as mayor of New York City in the early 1900s. The autobiography draws from his own manuscript and was not published until after his widow’s death, as McClellan was frank in his opinions and recollections. The book was carefully edited by Harold C. Syrett, who cut about one-third of the manuscript and added explanatory footnotes to aid readers.
