Tarnished Warrior by James Ripley Jacobs PDF Summary

Book Description: Again and again he voyaged up and down the Mississippi River and the Atlantic seacoast with soldiers, traders, and hardy adventures; in New Orleans and Philadelphia tavern underlings came to know his thick-set, uniformed figure, always busy, always alert, and often sinister. He visited Havana on mysterious missions, ran the gauntlet of grasping customhouse officials at Vera Cruz, and dined with Mexican patriots in the "Halls of Montezumas." Whether enjoying the proceeds of government pay-checks honestly earned or silver pesos wheedled from gullible Spanish officials, he set the pattern for lavish spending and engaging hospitality. Affable and gregarious, he craved the applause of his fellow-men; for their women he had an ample store of hard-handed compliments. He altered his political creed to suit the exigencies of the moment, but was always the partisan, writing profusely and talking without end.
