Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Major-General Zachary Taylor The author of the "Life and Times of Louis Philippe," says in his preface, "The desire that is implanted in the human breast, of approaching those who have filled distinguished parts in the theatre of human action those - who have secured the highest pedestals in the pantheon of political fame - those who have acquired a memorable name by the exercise of personal authority over a large portion of their fellow-creatures, will forever give to biography a high moral influence, and an interest superior to any that general history can excite. Time intervenes to remove us from a familiar intercourse with the greatest characters - space also produces a similar separation, but, the evil of both cases has found its remedy in the truthful and laborious productions of impartial writers." These remarks are applicable to the biography before us, the latter being representative of the career and actions of an individual who has occupied a large space in his country's history and affections, and which actions should form an interesting and useful portion of our political knowledge.

Excerpt from Taylor and Fillmore: Life of Major-General Zachary Taylor It is not our purpose, in the present sketch of the life and services of General Taylor, to give a minute history of all those important military transactions by which he has added lustre to the American name, in the several wars which have occurred since the year 1812. They form a part of the history of our country; and will serve to invigorate the national spirit for centuries to come. All men are familiar with the illustrious general's deeds of arms. We shall therefore confine ourselves to a very rapid sketch of his battles and sieges, while we dwell with more emphasis on those anecdotes and personal traits which serve to exhibit in unmistakeable traits the character of the man.

Book Description
Excerpt from Taylor and His Generals: A Biography of Major-General Zachary Taylor There probably has never been, in the course of our brief history as a nation, a time of such intense general excitement, as that immediately preceding the first engagement between the Americans and the Mexicans in the present war. We have perhaps had on other occasions excitements of a local character equally intense. But in this instance the feeling was of the most pervading kind, reaching every part of the great republic. We have perhaps had other causes that have agitated more deeply and gravely the foundations of society; but here, the lack of depth to the general feeling seemed to be compensated by its intensity. It was not so much the deep and distant upheavings of the earthquake, as the wild and frightful sweep of the hurricane. It was as if the whole American people had been suddenly changed into one mass, as if the whole twenty millions had become one man, and stood with listening ear to hear the first sound that should be borne upon the southern breeze. It was not unlike the human body, when a painful surgical operation is about to be performed on some one point. Every other part or limb is alive with apprehension. The whole body seems to live in that one spot where the point of he knife is about to enter. So was it here.
