Book excerpt: More than a military history, this book explains how Scott's aristocratic pretensions were out of place with emerging notions of equality in Jacksonian America and made him an unappealing political candidate in his bid for the presidency.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Giant of Three Wars: A Life of General Winfield Scott In writing of the lives of some great men we find that their careers lead up easily and gradually to some crowning effort, some great episode. It is very seldom that we meet men in history, outside of those born to high positions, whose lives are filled with doings of national importance; especially is it so of military leaders. Their reputation depends upon some great campaign; perhaps one boldly achieved victory has been the cause of all their fame. With the hero of this narrative it was different. Events crowded themselves into his life. He had won his spurs and demonstrated his ability at a time when most men are but in the school of great affairs.
