Honor. Country: The hallmarks of the oath sworn by every officer of the United States Army. The words shine brightly throughout the life of George Henry Thomas. A Virginian by birth, a New Yorker by marriage, and a Tennessean by official adoption, General George Henry Thomas is a study in stolid leadership and unswerving devotion to his oath. He stands as staunch and firm as a rock embedded in rectitude; head and shoulders above his plotting, conniving contemporaries. His few detractors might point to him as slow and ponderous. But their criticisms fail against the ultimate challenge of his leadership. For George Thomas was the only general officer during the American Civil War to attack, defeat, and destroy an opposing field army in open battle. From the dawn of the war, when his forces won the first real victory for the Union at Mill Springs, Kentucky, in January 1862, until his death at age 53, as commander of the Department of the Pacific in 1870, his quiet courage and devotion to country never wavered, though it earned him the enmity of his native state and family. Here, Frank Palumbo, long a student and collector of Thomas's personal memorabilia, has done an outstanding job of enhancing this latest of the Thomas biographies. Unlike earlier compliers, Palumbo has allowed Thomas to speak for himself without editorial interpretation. The result is an understated narrative of events with little of the author's imposition of personal opinion. The body of the text contains the General's words: his official reports and statements, including the fragment of the letter he was writing at the time of his death. The ninety-odd illustrations include many fine color reproductions from Palumbo's collection spanning Thomas's thirty-year career in Florida, Mexico, at West Point, in Texas, during the Civil War, and as a departmental commander in the postwar years. - Howard Popowski THIS BOOK IS IN MINT CONDITION This book is brand new, unread and in pristine condition.
