From the Dust Jacket: "Winfield Scott is one of the most compelling figures in American history, and at the same time, one of the most shabbily neglected. His life spanned a glamorous and exciting period, from the closing years of the eighteenth century, through the War of 1812, the Indian Wars, the War with Mexico, to the close of the civil war. In all of these Scott played a prominent part. As junior officers under him he had men who were later to write their own names in history, men like Robert E. Lee, Sheridan, and Sherman." The book has a printed dedication to Edward Eberstadt, bookseller and specialist in rare Americana. Original dark blue cloth. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
