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.
