EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Winfield Scott, a prominent figure in American history. Born in 1786, Scott served as a United States Army general, diplomat, and even ran for the presidency in 1852. His military career was marked by his significant role in the Mexican War from 1846 to 1848. When the American Civil War erupted in 1861, Scott held the position of General-in-Chief of the US Army. However, due to his advanced age and physical limitations, he resigned on November 1st that same year and was succeeded by George B McClellan. The engraving featured here is taken from volume II of "The War with the South: A History of the Late Rebellion" published between 1862-1867 by Robert Tomes and Benjamin G Smith. It offers us a glimpse into this distinguished statesman's appearance during an era defined by conflict. General Winfield Scott stands tall and resolute in his military uniform, embodying strength and authority. This portrait captures not only his commanding presence but also highlights his contributions to both war efforts and diplomacy throughout his illustrious career. As we reflect upon this image from America's past, it serves as a reminder of those who shaped our nation through their leadership on both political and military fronts. General Winfield Scott remains an enduring symbol of dedication to duty amidst challenging times.
