From the Dust Jacket: "Winfield Scott is one of the most compelling figures in American history, and at the same time, one of the most shabbily neglected. His life spanned a glamorous and exciting period, from the closing years of the eighteenth century, through the War of 1812, the Indian Wars, the War with Mexico, to the close of the civil war. In all of these Scott played a prominent part. As junior officers under him he had men who were later to write their own names in history, men like Robert E. Lee, Sheridan, and Sherman." The book has a printed dedication to Edward Eberstadt, bookseller and specialist in rare Americana. Original dark blue cloth. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good+ condition/Portions of DJ laid-in. 8vo. (xiv), 386pp .

Store Description

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
