A Sketch of the Life and Character of Col. Alexander W.
Doniphan
by D. C. Allen
A horse soldier's war
Doniphan's Expedition was an interesting sideshow of the
American-Mexican War. His force, composed of men raised in
Missouri, moved down the Santa Fe trail eventually meeting in
battle and defeating a Mexican Army many times its own size at the
Battle of Sacramento. What makes this book fascinating is that it
is a narrative of these remarkable men and this noteworthy
achievement from within the ranks and by the pen of a very ordinary
private soldier. The march, the camp and the battlefield are
brought graphically to life within its pages. Essential reading for
those fascinated by the Mexican War, the history of the West and
the experiences of ordinary Americans in war time. Available in
soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.
There have been many advances in the field of gastrointestinal pa
thology which are of considerable clinical significance during the
13 years since the last publication of a volume of Current Topics
in Pathology devoted to this subject. Many have arisen from the app
lication of new techniques of histochemistry, immunocytochemi stry,
quantitative morphometry and molecular and cell biology to
gastrointestinal diseases, but some, notably the recognition of the
association of Campylobaeter pylori with the commonest type of
chronic gastritis, have been achieved using such long established
'routine' histological procedures that one wonders how their
signifi cance had escaped recognition for so long. The topics
covered in this volume have been selected because they present
advances of relevance to the diagnostic clinical pathologist.
However, they re present the personal selection of the editor, and
are in no way exhaustive. Many other examples of progress in our
understanding of the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal diseases
have been omit ted, either because of the confines of space or
because they have been well reviewed recently in other
publications. Most of the workload of the practising
gastrointestinal patholo gist involves the diagnosis and assessment
either of inflammation or of neoplasia in the alimentary tract, and
this is reflected in the topics presented in this book."
