General Alexander Macomb succeeded Jacob J. Brown as the commanding general of the United States Army, and served from 1828 until his death in 1841. When Brown died, President John Quincy Adams could have chosen as Brown's successor one of the Army's two brigadier generals. But the two ? Winfield Scott and Edmund P. Gaines ? had denounced each other publicly and for months had been contesting for the position. Their quarrels scandalized the Army and drove Adams to nominate Alexander Macomb, the Chief of Engineers, who by then had reverted rank to colonel, as the Army?s top general.Inside the snuff box is original snuff powder ...
