Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from State Secrets for the People: The Private Letters of Lieut.-General Scott and the Reply of Ex-President Buchanan Early in the year 1861, when civil war seemed impending but had not actually broken out, Gen. Scott, then at the head of the army, wrote two papers containing his views, professional and political, on the crisis, and the rights and duties which devolved on the Government in the momentous conjuncture. These two papers were subsequently lent to many friends to read, and one of them has recently been published, without the writer´s consent. Therefore, the Old Warrior has deemed it proper to give to the public himself the second of the papers referred to, lest it also might find its unauthorized way into print. He has, therefore, forwarded it to the National Intelligencer, having added to it a few explanatory "notes," which the lapse of time seemed to render proper. The paper now submitted to the public by Gen. Scott throws a flood of light on the history of the rebellion in its incipient stages, and will inspire every reader with deep interest. It establishes, in the first place, the patriotic anxiety of the wise and watchful General-in-Chief to prepare for the coming storm, and his earnest and repeated efforts to prevail on the Government to garrison and secure the Southern forts against every possible attack. This paper must have the effect, with every candid mind, of vindicating the character of the illustrious veteran General himself from imputations with which he has been assailed.
