Excerpt from The Giant of Three Wars: A Life of General Winfield Scott In writing of the lives of some great men we find that their careers lead up easily and gradually to some crowning effort, some great episode. It is very seldom that we meet men in history, outside of those born to high positions, whose lives are filled with doings of national importance; especially is it so of military leaders. Their reputation depends upon some great campaign; perhaps one boldly achieved victory has been the cause of all their fame. With the hero of this narrative it was different. Events crowded themselves into his life. He had won his spurs and demonstrated his ability at a time when most men are but in the school of great affairs.

Excerpt from The Life of Winfield Scott Hancock: Personal, Military, and Political This memoir of Winfield Scott Hancock is founded on an extended biography, compiled by the late Rev. D. X. Junkin, D. D., an eminent Presbyterian minister. Dr. Junkin was engaged during many years in the preparation of - what was to him a labor of love - the life of his hero, and his standard of excellence; the life of a man who, to his mind, represented all that is noble, wise, and generous in human nature. Esteeming General Hancock above all other men, he confidently believed, up to the day of his death, that the American people would eventually pay just tribute to the statesmanlike qualities, the stanch integrity, the magnanimity, and the patriotism of his hero by elevating him to the highest executive position within their gift. Dr. Junkin died in April, 1880, respected and lamented. In undertaking the revision, condensation, and completion of Dr. Junkin's voluminous and comprehensive material, the undersigned has been aided by having free access to all the necessary documents, including the official reports of General Hancock.

Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Winfield Scott Hancock, Major-General To tell the story of the life of a successful general is to recite a romance. Hard and cruel as the work of war may be in reality, it is only while it is doing that its hardships and its roughnesses are seen. When it is done, the glory of the result smooths the crudenesses, and gilds the dark places, and rounds the whole into a picturesque completeness. The love of conflict is as much a part of human nature as the love of peace; and delight in tales of war lies deep down in man's heart. Stories of heroes and of saints, of warfare temporal and spiritual, form the earliest literature of mankind. But when to this is added the element of patriotism, and the successful warrior is one who fights not alone for glory or for the love of fighting, but for the love of country, a new zest is given the chronicle of his deeds. And when, still further, this love of country is the love of a free, popular government, - when the struggle is for the sake of liberty and for maintaining the will of the people, - the soldier in such a cause becomes a hero, whether successful or not.

Excerpt from The Life of General Winfield Scott The life of a public man is a Leaf of History. It is a leaf, also, in which minute facts and particular causes and personal transactions are brought out in such strong relief, as to have the effect of a picture, taken from the Great World, but viewed, as we view small portions of the firmament, through telescopic glasses. This effect is not really to exaggerate, but to give such distinctness to each object, that every line and hue shall be visible to the eye, in its exact proportions. If we see less in extent, we see more in detail. If we see not the whole, we shall be better pleased with what we do see. If we walk with less dignity, we walk in more familiar paths. In fine, we are content to lose something of the grandeur of history, if we can gain a more minute knowledge of that real life, in which we have a personal interest, in which we have long dwelt, and in which our nature finds kindred sympathies.

Excerpt from Life and Military Career of Winfield Scott Hancock: His Early Life, Education and Remarkable Military Career Believe me, I have no other aspiration in writing his life. I do not want any of his' offices. Never having been a candidate before any administration of the general government for place, I have simply, in order to maintain my independence, resigned most valuable positions voluntarily tendered to me by other Presidents. I can safely make this statement; and as for money, I have never learned to steal it from the Government, though I dearly love to earn a fair living by honest industry in my own chosen profession.
