About this ebook

Some Memories of a Soldier, first published in 1928, is the autobiography of influential U.S. Army General Hugh Lenox Scott (1853-1934). This autobiography of General Hugh L. Scott was published in 1929. General Scott's career was impressive and influential to say the least. After graduating from West Point, Scott joined the Cavalry and filled one of the many vacancies after Custer's men were destroyed. In the Indian Wars, Scott learned the Sioux language and then also became fluent in a more widespread sign language that was used by several tribes. He successfully mediated several conflicts using these skills. In addition to spending time out West, he joined Leonard Wood in Cuba were he was a leading figure in the occupation. After that, he led troops in the Philippines where he was given one of the most challenging assignments that positioned him in Moro territory. By the end of his tenure there, the Moro people respected him so much that they gave him their most prized possession which was the first Koran ever to reach the islands. Scott describes these adventures as well as his duty in Fort Sill overseeing Geronimo's imprisonment, his superintendent duties at West Point, and his time as Chief of Staff as the country plunged into World War I. of particular interest to me, was the controversial friendship which he forged with Francisco Villa. When Villa attacked the US, he was forced to send Pershing into Mexico to disband the Villistas. Scott would ultimately choose Pershing to lead World War I and he developed the basics behind the selective service system. In short, this autobiography has something for everyone. The reader explores the adventure that was Scott's life. While Scott's name is far from being a household name, he saved many lives and should be remembered as a true hero. "Blessed are the Peacemakers" Included are 50 pages of photographs.
