This detailed history of the Mexican War examines the conflict from
numerous angles; from events leading up to the 1845 Joint
Resolution and annexation of Texas to the United States, to the
1848 Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and the
Mexican republic. The march of General Zachary Taylor's troops,
Taylor's official reports, the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de
la Palma, the action of Congress and declarations of the President,
the Campaign of the Rio Grande, the government plan to invade
Northern Mexico, the expedition of Captain Fremont, General Scott
ordered to Mexico, General Taylor's movements, the advance of the
army to Lobos, the entrance of the American army into Puebla, the
march to San Augustine, the Mexican line of defense, peace
negotiations, the Siege of Puebla, and much more are discussed.
"Those who have taken part in the stirring scenes which are
described must have viewed them from different positions, and an
honest difference of opinion in regard even to facts will sometimes
be found to exist. But the description of the great movements and
battles is based on public documents, despatches, and orders, which
must ever be the material of a reliable history of a war." Excerpts
from correspondence, such as the 23 August 1843 letter from Mr.
Bocanegra (the Mexican minister of foreign relations) to Waddy
Thompson (the United States minister in Mexico); maps and
illustrations; and the 19 June 1848 Treaty of Peace add to the
value of this work. Tables "show the number of regulars and
volunteers, with the list of the commanding officers; the number
furnished by each State; the total strength and losses of the army;
the number of killed and mortally wounded in each engagement; and
the names of the officers killed."
