Slander Battle Over Gen Taylor Bible Claim In 1848
In Philadelphia a heated exchange rebutted a Democratic Review charge that General Taylor ordered Bibles to be used as wadding at Buena Vista. The letter from Major G H Crossman asserts no such instruction, noting only spurious Bible distributions in Mexico. The column defends Taylor’s pay and exposes claims about Cass and other officials as false or exaggerated, urging voters to support Zachary Taylor.
