Franklin Pierce in Public Service and Mexican War Hero

A concise biography traces Franklin Pierce from early political prominence in New Hampshire through service in Congress and the Senate, his 1840s battles over abolition, and his principled resignations to private life. It then covers his Civil War era defense of public duty, enlistment at the outset of the Mexican War, command in the 9th and 12th regiments, leadership under General Scott, notable acts at Contreras and Cherubusco, and his humane care for soldiers, culminating in his respected return home after the war.
