Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Heroes and Martyrs: Notable Men of the Time; Biographical Sketches of Military and Naval Heroes, Statesmen and Orators, Distinguished in the American Crisis of 1861-62
Much gloom was cleared from the public mind by this battle; it atoned for many disasters, and the country was taught, when it needed most to know it, that American soldiers, in proper hands, were equal to those whose skill and discipline had been acquired in the hard-fought fields Of the Peninsular war. Brigadier General Scott, said General Brown in his Official report, is entitled to the highest praise our country can bestow.
