Best Answer

Zachary Taylor may have a better name recognition because of his Presidency, but both Winfield Scott and Stephen Kearny are better known among Military Historians then "Old Rough and Ready" was. That is not intended as a "put-down" of Taylor at all, his service was commendable, but Kearny draws acclaim as the Father of the Cavalry and as an inovator and for leading from the front and Scott was the "Grand Old Man" of the US Army.

Winfield Scott was still on active duty when the Civil War began, but after creating the Anaconda Plan for the Union he stepped down. Sterling Price served as a General in both the US Army during the Mexican American War and the Confederate States Army.
