Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The March of the Mormon Battalion in 1846 from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego was long over before the participants themselves and historians began to realize what a major undertaking had just taken place. The war with Mexico, the relocation of the Mormons and the discovery of gold in California all served to over-shadow the momentous accomplishment. Much has been written to preserve and celebrate this contribution to the expansion of our nation. The March through New Mexico traverses such a desolate, harsh and forbidding land that details of this stretch are often glossed over or ignored. New Mexico is a large state, geographically diverse, with a climate which ranges from desert to alpine. Even today much of the state traversed by their march is remote and largely accessible only by four wheel drive vehicles. George Hackler, a life long resident of southern New Mexico covers the history of the March with his intimate knowledge of the landscape to produce a detailed tracing of the route.The story is told with over sixty color photographs and forty topographical maps to help the reader follow along with and see what the the volunteer soldiers saw so long ago. The story pulls together tedious ground surveys done by dedicated researchers not here-to fore available to the general public.

Book Synopsis The Mormon Battalion by : B. H. Roberts
Download or read book The Mormon Battalion written by B. H. Roberts and published by Latter-day Strengths. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 16, 1846 some 543 latter-day saints volunteered to enlist to aid the U.S. campaign against Mexico. This group of saints was known as the Mormon Battalion, and earned a place in the history of the West. During its 2,000 mile march its men cleared a wagon road from Santa Fe to San Diego and helped secure California as United States territory. Members of the Battalion helped preserve a feeble peace in southern California before the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended hostilities. They established a wagon road between the Gila and the Rio Grande, which influenced the U.S. government to make the Gadsden Purchase. They opened wagon roads that linked California with Salt Lake City via Carson and Cajon passes. A former member of the Battalion was arguably given credit for the discovery of gold in California, while others eventually participated in the gold rush and helped stimulate economic development in the Great Basin. These former LDS soldiers ultimately received favorable recognition both from their military commanders and from other non-Mormons for their industriousness and loyalty. And through it all, never fought a battle.

Book Synopsis The WPA Guide to New Mexico by : Federal Writers' Project
Download or read book The WPA Guide to New Mexico written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. The WPA Guide to New Mexico certainly shows how this Southwest state earned its nickname the “Colorful State.” The blended influence of Native American, Spanish, and Anglo-American cultures account for the Land of Enchantment’s distinct flavor, thoroughly captured in the guide’s stunning photography as well as in its many essays on art, folklore, and language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Much has been written about the Mexican war, but this . . . is the best military history of that conflict. . . . Leading personalities, civilian and military, Mexican and American, are given incisive and fair evaluations. The coming of war is seen as unavoidable, given American expansion and Mexican resistance to loss of territory, compounded by the fact that neither side understood the other. The events that led to war are described with reference to military strengths and weaknesses, and every military campaign and engagement is explained in clear detail and illustrated with good maps. . . . Problems of large numbers of untrained volunteers, discipline and desertion, logistics, diseases and sanitation, relations with Mexican civilians in occupied territory, and Mexican guerrilla operations are all explained, as are the negotiations which led to war's end and the Mexican cession. . . . This is an outstanding contribution to military history and a model of writing which will be admired and emulated."-Journal of American History. K. Jack Bauer was also the author of Zachary Taylor: Soldier, Planter, Statesman of the Old Southwest (1985) and Other Works. Robert W. Johannsen, who introduces this Bison Books edition of The Mexican War, is a professor of history at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and the author of To the Halls of Montezumas: The Mexican War in the American Imagination (1985).
