Book Synopsis The War Between the United States and Mexico by : George Wilkins Kendall
Download or read book The War Between the United States and Mexico written by George Wilkins Kendall and published by Texas State Historical Assn. This book was released on 1996-11-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War Between the United States and Mexico, Illustrated, originally published in 1851, was easily the most beautiful nineteenth-century publication relating to the early history of Texas. It was also one of the most historically significant because of its widespread dissemination and because of the reputation of George Wilkins Kendall, editor of the New Orleans Picayune and first American war correspondent. It contains a brief history of the war and twelve hand-colored lithographs based on paintings by artist Carl Nebel. This handsome full-color facsimile of the original reproduces this rare and valuable volume, and enhances it with a scholarly introduction by Ron Tyler. Kendall was a nineteenth-century Renaissance man—involved in and successful at many things. He was fascinated with early Texas and sought to have it admitted to the Union. He frequently wrote about Texas in the Picayune, participated in the Texan expedition to Santa Fe in 1841, and was taken prisoner there. He wrote Narrative of the Texan Santa Fe Expedition as a result of the experience. When the war with Mexico broke out five years later, Kendall rushed to Texas where he joined the U.S. Army as it marched into Mexico. He wrote numerous dispatches from the front lines which appeared in the Picayune before government couriers could get the information to Washington. Kendall was on hand for most of the important battles of the war. Dissatisfied with what was written after the war, Kendall began to write a history himself. He contracted with Carl Nebel, a talented German artist he had met in Mexico, and got him to paint pictures of the major battles to illustrate his text. Producing this exquisite book took several years and involved the printing talents of Lemercier, one of the finest lithographers in Paris. The quality of the production was second to none. One of the pictures depicts the Battle of Palo Alto, which took place on Texas soil, and others show the battles of Monterrey, Buena Vista, and the southern campaign. Perhaps best known is the picture of General Scott's entrance into the zocalo, the main plaza, in Mexico City. This facsimile reprint is as important as it is beautiful. It tells, in succinct prose by one who was there, the story of the war that confirmed Texas's membership in the Union and added vast parts of the West to the United States. Ron Tyler's scholarly introduction places the work in its historical and artistic context, and adds to its value. This reasonably priced facsimile of the rare and expensive original is a must for students, scholars, and libraries.
Book Synopsis Texas and the Mexican War by : Charles M. Robinson
Download or read book Texas and the Mexican War written by Charles M. Robinson and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for both the specialist and the casual reader, Texas and the Mexican War discusses the pivotal role Texas played in the Mexican War, battles fought on Texas soil, and the contributions—for better or sometimes worse—of Texas troops throughout the war. Since the opening of hostilities in 1846, the Mexican War has remained controversial. Author Charles M. Robinson III describes how attitudes of the era were influenced by sectional, political, and social differences, and, in recent times, by comparison to conflicts such as Vietnam. Robinson draws on U.S. and Mexican sources to discuss conditions in both countries that he believes made the war inevitable. Besides examining the political and military differences, he reveals the motivations, egos, pettiness, and quarrels of the various generals and politicians in the United States and Mexico. He also looks at how the common soldier saw the war. The extensive citations include commentaries on the historiography of the war. The book is profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs, sketches, and drawings, many from the author’s own collection. Besides an account of the war itself, sidebars throughout the book titled “Then and Now” serve as a guide for those who want to visit important Mexican War sites in Texas, northern Mexico, and Louisiana.

Book Synopsis America and the Great War by : Margaret E. Wagner
Download or read book America and the Great War written by Margaret E. Wagner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Titles of the Year for 2017 "A uniquely colorful chronicle of this dramatic and convulsive chapter in American--and world--history. It's an epic tale, and here it is wondrously well told." --David M. Kennedy, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of FREEDOM FROM FEAR From August 1914 through March 1917, Americans were increasingly horrified at the unprecedented destruction of the First World War. While sending massive assistance to the conflict's victims, most Americans opposed direct involvement. Their country was immersed in its own internal struggles, including attempts to curb the power of business monopolies, reform labor practices, secure proper treatment for millions of recent immigrants, and expand American democracy. Yet from the first, the war deeply affected American emotions and the nation's commercial, financial, and political interests. The menace from German U-boats and failure of U.S. attempts at mediation finally led to a declaration of war, signed by President Wilson on April 6, 1917. America and the Great War commemorates the centennial of that turning point in American history. Chronicling the United States in neutrality and in conflict, it presents events and arguments, political and military battles, bitter tragedies and epic achievements that marked U.S. involvement in the first modern war. Drawing on the matchless resources of the Library of Congress, the book includes many eyewitness accounts and more than 250 color and black-and-white images, many never before published. With an introduction by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David M. Kennedy, America and the Great War brings to life the tempestuous era from which the United States emerged as a major world power.

Book Synopsis The Battle of Churubusco by : Andrea Ferraris
Download or read book The Battle of Churubusco written by Andrea Ferraris and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Churubusco is a residential suburb of Mexico City. In 1847, it was the stronghold of the San Patricios, a motley battalion of soldiers ― even some runaway American slaves ― who deserted the United States Army for a just, if suicidal, cause. In this graphic novel, Ferraris uses a bold charcoal technique to tell their story through the eyes of Gaetano Rizzo (based on a real U.S. soldier). A 22-year-old Sicilian immigrant, he joins the U.S. Army, who has promised him citizenship and a parcel of land if he will fight to take California away from Mexico. Soon, he sees sees the cruelty he is being ordered to inflict is no different from what he had escaped from in his home country.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of Warfare by : Geoffrey Parker
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Warfare written by Geoffrey Parker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of The Cambridge History of Warfare, written and updated by a team of eight distinguished military historians, examines how war was waged by Western powers across a sweeping timeframe beginning with classical Greece and Rome, moving through the Middle Ages and the early modern period, down to the wars of the twenty-first century in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. The book stresses five essential aspects of the Western way of war: a combination of technology, discipline, and an aggressive military tradition with an extraordinary capacity to respond rapidly to challenges and to use capital rather than manpower to win. Although the focus remains on the West, and on the role of violence in its rise, each chapter also examines the military effectiveness of its adversaries and the regions in which the West's military edge has been – and continues to be – challenged.
