can history in its formative period.
Scott has been selected by military
authorities as one Of the greatest
soldiers the United States has pro-
duced. A recent selection by an
American officer of an "all-time corps
command and staff, somewhat on the
order of all-American teams, ranked
Scott above such military celebrities
as George Washington, Ulysses s.
Grant and John J. Pershing.
Flashing on the military scene in
his early twenties, when he became
the outstanding hero Of the War Of
1912, Scott stood supreme in Ameri-
can military annals over a period OF a
half century until his retirement as
commander in chief during the Civil
War
He not only was magnificent soldi-
er but also pacif1cator who rivalled
Henry Clay. He was the last Whig
nominee for the Presidency. That
he has been so long neglected is
strange, and to his recent biograph-
ers, and especially to Maj. Elliott,
those who are interested in American
history owe debt OF gratitude.
The author has devoted many years
to the research which went into this
volume and his analysis of the military
and political events of SCOTS day is
shrewed and pungent. Maj. Elliott,
who retired from the Army in 1922,
Travelled more than 5000 miles gath
ering source material for his biography
and is the sole Scott biographer to
utilize the immense unpublished cor
respondence of the general hitherto
hidden in the files of the War Depart
ment His work has been reviewed by
the War Department General Staff
and should take its place as the stand
ard and definite work on Gen. Scott
and his campaigns.
Gen. Scott appears in this boaraph
perhaps even without special intent on
the part OF the author, as one OF the

ingrained instincts of a great gentle
man with an intuitive regard for the
fitness OF things. Gen. Scott deserves
to be remembered because he was
truly a great man-great of soul and
spirit.
Above all, Scott was intensely hu-
man. He had weaknesses which only
served to make him the more lovable.
He fancied himself as a writer and he
wrote voluminously on many subjects,
frequently to his own great injury.
He had what amounted to downright
genius for the coming OF catch
phrases which struck in the minds OF
men and which very often served to
embarass and injure their author. He
was ambitious to degree, perhaps
a little vain-though with justifiable
basis for vanity--and rather hot temp
cred He was constantly embroied
in feuds with his contemporaries.
He was, to the end of his life, gour-
mand. He was garrulous. fault
which was redeemed by the fact that
he was almost invariably entertaining
and instructive.
SCOTS virtues however, paled his
faults into insignificance. He was in
corruptibly honest; through his 50
years of public life there was never a
breath of scandal against him-in a
day when corruption in public life was
rampant He was man OF surpris-
ingly broad vision and at the same
time tremendously industrious. Even

The United States owes much to the
fact that Scott was innately e gentle

of his ability to deal as one gentleman
