Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Braddock, Allegheny County is named after British general Edward Braddock, a military leader whose miscalculation of Native American fighting prowess cost him fame, glory, and life in 1755. The place of defeat was long remembered as Braddock's Field. The battle was a world-changing event, as it altered the course of American and world history. George Washington was the most memorable participant. His experiences proved invaluable during America's war for independence.

Having found the purveyors of beef to the Army were experimentally using hazardous preservatives on the meat, Daly convinced his friend, General Miles, to take on the War Department. The ensuing trial attracted national attention and resulted in the forced resignation of Secretary of War Russell A. Alger and the court-martial of Commissary General Charles P. Eagan. Daly's role in bringing attention to the activities of the meatpacking industry cannot be overstated. The sensational outcome of the hearings remained in the news for months and caught the public eye.
