Winfield Scott
Author: Timothy D. Johnson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
More than a military history, this book explains how Scott's aristocratic pretensions were out of place with emerging notions of equality in Jacksonian America and made him an unappealing political candidate in his bid for the presidency. Johnson recounts the details of Scott's personality that alienated nearly every one who knew him, as well as the unsavory methods Scott used to promote his career and the scandalous ways he attempted to alleviate his lifelong financial troubles.
