Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Winfield Scott These facts the writer has undertaken to com pose in a clear method, an easy narrative, and, as far as he has the ability, an agreeable style. Beyond this he does not seek to go. He would neither exaggerate the objects in his picture, nor add a coloring beyond the hues of nature. Nor has he need: for the battle-fields of Niagara, the exciting crisis in which civil war threatened to burst out in the streets of Charleston, and the thrilling events of the campaign in Mexico, have interest enough, without any distorted figures drawn by the pen of Fancy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Winfield Scott Hancock: Personal, Military, and Political This memoir of Winfield Scott Hancock is founded on an extended biography, compiled by the late Rev. D. X. Junkin, D. D., an eminent Presbyterian minister. Dr. Junkin was engaged during many years in the preparation of - what was to him a labor of love - the life of his hero, and his standard of excellence; the life of a man who, to his mind, represented all that is noble, wise, and generous in human nature. Esteeming General Hancock above all other men, he confidently believed, up to the day of his death, that the American people would eventually pay just tribute to the statesmanlike qualities, the stanch integrity, the magnanimity, and the patriotism of his hero by elevating him to the highest executive position within their gift. Dr. Junkin died in April, 1880, respected and lamented. In undertaking the revision, condensation, and completion of Dr. Junkin's voluminous and comprehensive material, the undersigned has been aided by having free access to all the necessary documents, including the official reports of General Hancock.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Winfield Scott Hancock I have yielded with reluctance to the appeals made to me for the recital of events connected with the earlier part of my husband's life, and not contained in the several biographical sketches that have been published. The task is difficult, and in some respects painful to me, but as you, dear friends, who have shown such kind persistence in urging the work upon me, predict that it will interest others as well as yourselves, I have resisted my disinclination, and will give the narrative in my own way, taking your thoughts back to those happier days before the great storm that later burst upon the land had caught us up in its currents, and before the clouds of personal loss and deprivation had overshadowed our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Winfield Scott The life of a public man is a Leaf of History. It is a leaf, also, in which minute facts and particular causes and personal transactions are brought out in such strong relief, as to have the effect of a picture, taken from the Great World, but viewed, as we view small portions of the firmament, through telescopic glasses. This effect is not really to exaggerate, but to give such distinctness to each object, that every line and hue shall be visible to the eye, in its exact proportions. If we see less in extent, we see more in detail. If we see not the whole, we shall be better pleased with what we do see. If we walk with less dignity, we walk in more familiar paths. In fine, we are content to lose something of the grandeur of history, if we can gain a more minute knowledge of that real life, in which we have a personal interest, in which we have long dwelt, and in which our nature finds kindred sympathies.

This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Winfield Scott Hancock, Major-General To tell the story of the life of a successful general is to recite a romance. Hard and cruel as the work of war may be in reality, it is only while it is doing that its hardships and its roughnesses are seen. When it is done, the glory of the result smooths the crudenesses, and gilds the dark places, and rounds the whole into a picturesque completeness. The love of conflict is as much a part of human nature as the love of peace; and delight in tales of war lies deep down in man's heart. Stories of heroes and of saints, of warfare temporal and spiritual, form the earliest literature of mankind. But when to this is added the element of patriotism, and the successful warrior is one who fights not alone for glory or for the love of fighting, but for the love of country, a new zest is given the chronicle of his deeds. And when, still further, this love of country is the love of a free, popular government, - when the struggle is for the sake of liberty and for maintaining the will of the people, - the soldier in such a cause becomes a hero, whether successful or not.
