Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under Scott in Mexico It was not long after this that Texas joined the United States. The feeling in Mexico was very bitter, and a dispute over the southern boundary line of Texas soon brought on a war which, at this latter day, seems hardly justified, but which was, nevertheless, fought with valor upon both sides. The real opening of the contest was along the Rio Grande River, and in the second volume of our series, called Under Taylor on the Rio Grande.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Scott and His Staff The present war with Mexico has developed, in a very extraordinary manner, the military resources of this country. It has made the world acquainted with many facts and principles which are worthy of especial attention to every one who feels an interest in our national history, and a desire that the national honour shall always be maintained. It has demonstrated that a people devoted to the arts of peace, and possessing free political institutions, can easily vanquish a military people, governed by military despots. It has shown that fresh volunteers, under the command of intelligent and able officers, can take fortified cities and castles, garrisoned by double the number of the assailants; and gain victories, in pitched battles, over disciplined armies five times as numerous as themselves. These are interesting facts; and particularly interesting to Americans, as they evidently involve the principle, that political freedom is the chief element of military success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Winfield Scott These facts the writer has undertaken to com pose in a clear method, an easy narrative, and, as far as he has the ability, an agreeable style. Beyond this he does not seek to go. He would neither exaggerate the objects in his picture, nor add a coloring beyond the hues of nature. Nor has he need: for the battle-fields of Niagara, the exciting crisis in which civil war threatened to burst out in the streets of Charleston, and the thrilling events of the campaign in Mexico, have interest enough, without any distorted figures drawn by the pen of Fancy.

Book Synopsis Mexico in Peace and War (Classic Reprint) by : Thomas H. Russell
Download or read book Mexico in Peace and War (Classic Reprint) written by Thomas H. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexico in Peace and War It was never intended that "Mexico in Peace and War" should be limited in scope to a mere "war book," although many months ago it was thought that war was imminent, and quite probable, before a solution of existing difficulties could be brought about, or before this volume could go to press. For several years the eyes of the civilized world have been directed toward Mexico because of the revolution of the masses against certain classes which had been fiercely waged. The American public seemed eager for details of this civil war, and such details were furnished by the daily press. Then came a demand for all kinds of information about Mexico. What seemed necessary to the situation was a popular, readable book that would embrace all the facts concerning this land of conquest, revolution and treasure. Such a history must necessarily be authentic and comprehensive. It was part of the plan that should war actually take place between the United States and Mexico ere its publication, allowance would be made in this history for the incidents and causes leading up to and into the beginning of such a war. In the event of conflict it would be only reasonable to expect that whether or not the opposing forces should be in actual conflict, or in a position of armed belligerency pending peaceful settlement, the ultimate solution would be long drawn out; and to postpone the volume for a "last word" of war developments would be to deprive the public of an immense fund of information never before issued in popular form.

Download or read book Gen. Scott's Guide in Mexico written by Martin A. Haynes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gen. Scott's Guide in Mexico: A Biographical Sketch of Col. Noah E. Smith A few weeks ago there died in the village of Laconia a man with a history. It was he of whom Major Gaines spoke in a speech made in Boston in 1848: "I have been to New Hampshire. I went there on a pilgrimage. I went there to pay my respects and pour out my gratitude to a New Hampshire man, whom I met in Mexico, or rather who met me; who visited me in my dungeon; who found me 'naked and he clothed me, sick and in prison, and he ministered unto me.' I went there to render him my gratitude for kindness done me in a far-distant laud." The man thus pictured was Noah E. Smith. To him the opportunity came to render extraordinary service to his country - services the importance of which were appreciated probably by but few of those among whom he spent the later and uneventful years of his life. For several years the writer of this was almost daily associated with this grand old gentleman. Our conversation often recurred to his experiences in Mexico, and this sketch is drawn from copious memoranda made at those times with a view of preserving a record too valuable and interesting to be lost - a record which fairly entitles Noah E. Smith to be ranked among New Hampshire's notable sons. Birth and Early Life. Noah E. Smith was born in Meredith in 1808.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ahead of the Army Lest any one should suspect exaggeration in the pictures of Mexican affairs in the old time, which are presented by Senor Car fora, it may be well to offer a few facts by way of explanation. During sixty-three years of the national life of the Republic of Mexico, from the'establishment of its independence in 1821 to the year 1884, nearly all of its successive changes of gov ernment were accompanied by more or less violence and bloodshed. There have been fifty-five Mexican Presidents; at one rev olutionary period, four within three months, and to this list must be added two emperors and one regency. Both of the emperors were shot, so were several of the Presidents, and nearly all of the others incurred the penalty of banishment. How this came to be so will possibly be better understood by the young Americans who will kindly travel with Senor Carfora and his generals and his two armies, commanded for him by General Scott and General Santa Anna.

General Scott and his splendid army have won golden opinions of all sorts of men. They have displayed all the best qualities of commanders and soldiers. They have carried on sieges and captured cities which were considered impregnable, with a force apparently hardly adequate for a forlorn hope. They have fought pitched battles and won them, opposing fresh recruits to veteran troops. They have accomplished marches over routes before considered utterly impassible; captured fortresses bristling with cannon, by means of the rifle and bayonet; and planted the star Spangled banner upon the proud Halls of Monte.

Buena Vista stands upon the page of history as one of the most gallant defen ces of modern times; while the rapid and successful movements of General Scott are; perhaps, unparal leled.
