Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Winfield Scott These facts the writer has undertaken to com pose in a clear method, an easy narrative, and, as far as he has the ability, an agreeable style. Beyond this he does not seek to go. He would neither exaggerate the objects in his picture, nor add a coloring beyond the hues of nature. Nor has he need: for the battle-fields of Niagara, the exciting crisis in which civil war threatened to burst out in the streets of Charleston, and the thrilling events of the campaign in Mexico, have interest enough, without any distorted figures drawn by the pen of Fancy.

Book Synopsis Life of General Scott (Classic Reprint) by :
Download or read book Life of General Scott (Classic Reprint) written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of General Scott In the summer of 1807 occurred the wanton attack of the British frigate Leopard upon the Chesapeake, and the seizure and imprisonment of several of her crew, upon the allegation that they were British subjects. This outrage excited a violent resentment throughout the country. Young Scott shared ardently in the indignation of his countrymen, and immediately joined a volunteer corps raised in Petersburg, and marched with them down to Lynnhaven Bay, where they took up their station, in expectation of a British descent upon the coast. But this little cloud of war blew over, the volunteers were called home, and Scott returned to the practice of his profession. He was soon to leave it forever, for Providence had marked for him a wide and glorious career. Our difficulties with England thickened. It became clear that a war was inevitable. Congress passed a bill to raise an army. Scott applied for a commission, and in May, 1808, received from President Jefferson a commission as captain of artillery. During the rest of the year he was employed on the recruiting service, and in the study of his new profession of arms. In 1809 he was ordered to Louisiana, and placed under the command of General Wilkinson. For this officer Scott had no respect. Himself filled with patriotic ardor, and a passionate devotion to his country's honor, he believed Wilkinson to be implicated in Burr's conspiracy. The young soldier, with more boldness than prudence, did not hesitate to express his sentiments. The result was, that Wilkinson preferred charges against him that resulted in his suspension from the service for a year. In this punishment he had the sympathy of his brother officers, and was complimented with a public dinner on the occasion of his sentence. The interval of suspension was passed by Scott in a systematic and thorough study of military tactics, and the whole science of war. At the expiration of the time, he reappeared in service with in creased knowledge, and superior fitness for the arduous and important duties now about to devolve upon him. War Declared. - Hull's Inglorious Surrender. At length on the 18th of June, 1812, war was declared. The military preparations of the country had been inadequate to the necessities of the crisis. An expedition to seize upon Upper Canada was planned, and the execution of it intrusted to General Hull. He crossed into Canada at Detroit, with his whole force, on the 12th of July, 1812, and in one month and two days thereafter ingloriously surrendered to General Brock, the British commander, without striking a blow. The country was stunned by the shock it received in the accounts of this shameful pusillanimity of conduct. The blood of our young hero boiled to wipe out this stain of dishonor. He longed to avenge our disasters upon the very spot where they had been suffered; a result he soon gloriously accomplished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
