Pamphlet, “Life of General Scott”, 32pp. 1852, New York by C. A. Alvord. The pamphlet is about the life of American military commander and political candidate Winfield Scott (1786–1866). The pamphlet focuses on Scott's boyhood in Virginia and his military career. It includes a title vignette of Scott on horseback and is replete with illustrations. Scott was a veteran of the War of 1812, American Indian Wars, Mexican–American War, and the early stages of the American Civil War. He served as Commanding General of the United States Army from 1841 to 1861. Scott was known for his exceptional strategic and operational planning abilities. He is considered by some to be the best Army Officer between General Washington and the Civil War.
