Rosecrans, Gen. William Starke

'Manifest Destiny, ' 'the Monroe Doctrine, ' and Our Relations With Mexico: a Letter From Gen. Rosecrans to the People of the United States

NP: (1870). Paperback. String-bound self-wraps, 23 pp, light wear and soil. The author, an inventor and politician who had a miserable record of defeats during the Civil War, was US Minister to Mexico 1868-69 (replaced when Grant, who despised him, became president). He envisioned a narrow-gauge railroad and telegraph communications that would run from Tampico to the coast, but that too was a failure for him. Descended from the Danish & Norwegian noble Rosenkrantz family, despite the semitic sound of the name, he was not of Jewish heritage. Rare in commerce and in institutions. Good. Item #H10817
