Sketch of the Life and Character of John Lacey, a Brigadier General in the Revolutionary Army (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Character of John Lacey, a Brigadier General in the Revolutionary Army Perhaps it will not be inappropriate, at this time and in this place, to give a little account of the Lacey family.

Commanding Generals and Chiefs of Staff, 1775-2013
From the Foreword: This volume provides short biographical sketches of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff who have led the United States Army. Their rise through the levels of leadership to the pinnacle of their profession reveals both striking parallels and equally fascinating contrasts. While their responsibilities have evolved over the years, the essential elements of leadership remain unchanged. The format of this volume combines biographical information along with the officially designated portraits of the commanding generals and chiefs of staff. It also includes brief accounts of the artists selected to paint the official portraits. As an aspect of the Army art program, these portraits add an interesting and revealing dimension to the biographer's words. This volume not only celebrates the legacy of dedication and patriotism left by these leaders, but also enhances our understanding of military leadership at the highest levels. All those interested in the profession of arms should become familiar with those who have led our Army.
