What General in the Battle of Ball's Bluff was also a graduate of West Point?
George B. McClellan
Battle of Ball's Bluff
The Battle of Ball's Bluff in Loudoun County, Virginia on October 21, 1861, was one of the early battles of the American Civil War.
 In the battle, Union Army forces of the Army of the Potomac, under the command of Major General George B. McClellan, suffered a humiliating defeat.
George B. McClellan
George Brinton McClellan (December 3, 1826October 29, 1885) was an American soldier, civil engineer, railroad executive, and politician.
 A graduate of West Point, McClellan served with distinction during the Mexican–American War, and later left the Army to work in railroads until the outbreak of the American Civil War.
 Early in the war, McClellan was appointed to the rank of major general and played an important role in raising a well-trained and organized army, which would become the Army of the Potomac; he served a brief period (November 1861 to March 1862) as general-in-chief of the Union Army.
 Although McClellan was meticulous in his planning and preparations, these very characteristics hampered his ability to challenge aggressive opponents in a fast-moving battlefield environment.
 He chronically overestimated the strength of enemy units and was reluctant to apply principles of mass, frequently leaving large portions of his army unengaged at decisive points.

Fort Putnam was a military garrison during the Revolutionary War at West Point, New York, United States.
 Built by a regiment of Colonel Rufus Putnam's 5th Massachusetts Regiment, it was completed in 1778 with the purpose of supporting Fort Clinton, which sat on the edge of the Hudson River about a 3/4 of a mile away.
 The fort was rebuilt and enlarged in 1794 before falling into disuse and disrepair as the military garrison at West Point became obsolete in the early mid-19th century.
 It underwent a major preservation as a historical site in 1909, and has been continually in the process of preservation since.
 Sitting at an altitude of 500 feet above sea level, it was West Point's largest garrison during the Revolutionary War.
 The Fort is under the supervision of the West Point Museum Director, David M. Reel and is operated by the United States Army Garrison, West Point.
 Access to the Fort is seasonal and as summer staff are available. Sedgwick Monument (West Point)

 Originally, the monument was located on the northwest edge of the Plain, it was later relocated to its current location at Trophy Point across Washington Road from Battle Monument.
 Legend holds that if a cadet is deficient in academics, the cadet should go to the monument at midnight the night before the term-end examination, in full dress, under arms, and spin the rowels on the monument’s spurs.
 With the resulting good luck, the cadet will pass the test. West Point, New York
