This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
General Scott Marcus Joseph Wright Books
General Winfield Scott was probably the most popular General of the nineteenth century, partly because he was in the public eye the longest. Not only was he in almost every war since the War of 1812, he ran for president on the Whig ticket, and though he lost, he set yet another record as the tallest man ever to run for the office. By the time of the Civil War, Great Scott was seventy-four-years old, and too overweight and ill to mount his horse. Though he had to turn the reins over to George McClellan, "Old Fuss and Feathers" authored the Anaconda Plan that passed for the Union strategy. The Anaconda Plan showed a cartoon snake putting a stranglehold on supply lines on both Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and along the Mississippi. This autobiography takes the reader from his lineage through his early schooling to General in the Mexican War of 1848 into the Civil War (and many "Indian Wars" in between). It was in the Mexican War under Scott that almost every Civil War General North and South fought, and for that reason alone, this is essential reading for the Civil War buff.Product details
