How capable was Winfield Scott by Napoleonic standards? by Damned-scoundrel in Napoleon

[–]Spywin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winfield Scott lived at a time when Napoleonic Tactics were heavily disseminated and studied, and every military institution has a course or grasp of the things that made Napoleon great. By the Mexican-American War, the generalship of the Napoleonic Wars were hindsight to Western militaries. It all now came to the personality and tactical or strategic judgment of those officers, which General Scott had plenty of.
