Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Winfield Scott
In view of the struggle on which he has entered I have thought it desirable to trace his past history up to the present time, on which such momentous destinies hang, to refresh our memory with an account of his gallant deeds, and to contemplate from the new point we occupy, the man to whom we have committed our destiny.
A grateful people will soon be called to close up the record of his glory, and place him beside Washington, while one epitaph will answer for both, "Saviour of his Country."
Those who are interested in the military career of the chief leaders of the rebel army, who won all their laurels under the Stars and Stripes and leadership of the noble old patriot they are now in arms against, will find some account of them in the latter part of the work.
