Life Of General Winfield Scott: Commander-In-Chief Of The United States Army by Edward Deering Mansfield. This biography surveys Scott's life from his Virginia youth and early legal studies to his ascent in the United States Army, highlighting his distinguished service in the War of 1812—including Queenstown Heights, the Niagara campaigns, and Fort George—and detailing his later campaigns in the west and on the Canadian frontier. It covers his leadership in the Florida and Cherokee removals, his role in quelling South Carolina's nullification, and his strategic and humane conduct during the Mexican War—Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Contreras, Churubusco, and the occupation of Mexico City. Mansfield also discusses Scott's diplomacy, subsequent honors, travel in Europe, and the Maine boundary negotiations, portraying him as a soldier-scholar whose achievements mingled military prowess with statesmanship and a strong humanitarian impulse.
