The Soldier's Return : A Song for the People

Sheet music for "The Soldier's Return," with an illustrated chromolithograph print cover consisting of a standing portrait of a dashing General Winfield Scott, in full general's uniform with polished boots, epaulettes, sash, and cockade, dismounted from his horse (seen from behind on his left), with mounted cavalry viewing fortifications burning in the distance. The song lyrics praise Scott as the victorious hero returning from the war where he led American forces against the Mexican troops.
