Sinopsis
Excerpt from Our First War in Mexico
It was the expectation Of a second war, two years ago, that revived my own ln terest in the war of 1846 - 48. Most of its histories can be divided into two classes. First come those written immediately after the conclusion Of peace. The authors of these painted everything red, white, and blue, and chanted songs of glory. Then come the histories written under what may be called Abolition influence. The authors Of these painted everything coal black and passed by on the other side.

Excerpt from Our First War in Mexico
The sentry on Number Three Post passes as I write this. The collar of his O. D. shirt is turned up like an old-fashioned stock; the lean, brown profile under the bell-crowned forage-cap is that of an old-time Yankee. A voice somewhere behind me demands: "When are we going to Mexico?" It is '46 come back again.
But across the parade-ground rolls the monstrous gray bulk of Battlecar B-I, a gray steel fortress on armored wheels, and up the slope from the Peekskill road comes a dashing, sputtering detachment of motor-cycle men. It is a far cry from the flintlocks and three-dollar horses - see Grant's "Memoirs" - of seventy years ago.

This book delves into the causes of the first war between the United States and Mexico, exploring the complex historical context and events leading up to the conflict.
