Excerpt from The War With Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2 A period of more than thirty years of peaceful intercourse withthe great nations of the earth had left the recent history of the United States without any great events of a military character at the commencement of the war with Mexico. The gov ernment of the republic commenced and prosecuted the war, having had little experience in extended military operations, and being at the outset in a measure unprepared. In spite of those difficulties, however, but little more than two years was re quired to bring it to, a termination, and during that period American arms suffered no reverse.

Excerpt from The Mexican War IT has been wisely remarked by a distinguished American statesman, that the commencement of the Mexican War was the opening of a new volume of American history. Nations, like individuals, are often borne along in their progress, without pausing to consider the particular acts which are to shape and control their future destiny; and perhaps there is no subject on which the public mind is less likely to act with caution and deliberation than on the momentous question of peace or war.

Excerpt from History of the War With Mexico The war of the United States with Mexico awakened the military ardor of American citizens, which had been slumbering since the contest with Great Britain in 1812 - 14. It stirred their imagina tion with the romance which has ever been con nected with the scenes of Spanish conquest, height ened by the strange histories and vestiges of the most ancient people and civilization of the New World. It allured the adventurous spirit of the Northern soldier by the attractions of a tropical cli mate and a land of superb mountain-ranges veined with silver and gold, and of valleys and plains rich with Southern fruits and flowers.

Excerpt from The Mexican War, by an English Soldier: Comprising Incidents and Adventures in the United States and Mexico With the American Army The writers of both classes have "cast discreetly into shade" whatever would "offend the eye" of the readers they sought to appreciate. As a partial remedy for the evil complained of by the gallant officer above referred to, the publishers put forth the present volume. If it does not rise to the dignity of history, it at least partakes of that faithfulness of record and clearness of detail which give history its value. The author is manifestly superior to that class of his countrymen ordinarily found in the rank and file of an army, in intelligence, in education, in observation, in descriptive and narrative power, and in candor and liberality of sentiment. Something of foreign misapprehension, possibly some degree of foreign preference or prejudice, may be found in his pages; and it is by no means improbable that some of his criticisms upon men and events may be unjust; but there is throughout the volume an evident desire to be just as well as independent, both in criticism and in narration.

Excerpt from Or, the American Volunteers: A Tale of the Mexican War Who does not remember Friday, the 10th of July, 1846. The heat of that day fell with scathing effect upon the gay city of New-Orleans. As the sun rose above the horizon, its first rays seemed to cast a burning veil over the city, which, as it ascended higher in the blue ether, and gained the meridian, became absolutely intolerable, suspending all business in the streets, and forcing the residents of the crescent city to retreat under cover, with few exceptions; and those melting beneath the suns fierce beams, were taken home to bear the penalty of their temerity by almost immediate death. But those who were sitting in their own splendid mansions, surrounded by all the luxuries of wealth, received not a breath of air to cool the fevered brow; but were sitting listlessly endeavoring to kill time by some trifling employment, or walking back and forth from room to room, in the impatient hope of inhaling a breath of what was not to be gained. Having lingered through many hours in the delusive hope of a change in the atmosphere, the impatient watchers observed a small black cloud rising in the west, which spread rapidly, occasionally emitting from its dark bosom brilliant flashes of lightning, followed by hoarse peals of thunder, and in the space of five minutes it had covered the heavens like a pall; and the rain began to descend in torrents, while the vivid lightning, and menacing roll of the thunder, accompanied by violent wind, presenting such a contrast to the burning light, and almost death like silence of a few moments before, struck an emotion of awe into every bosom.

Excerpt from Letters of Zachary Taylor From the Battle-Fields of the Mexican War The readers of this privately printed volume may be interested in a sketch of General Taylor's family and of his descendants, particularly as nothing accurate and comprehensive has hitherto been printed indeed, a sketch may be regarded as necessary to a correct understanding of the many interesting allusions in these Letters to the members of his family, to whom he was passionately devoted.

Excerpt from History of the War Between Mexico and the United States, Vol. 1: With a Preliminary View of Its Origin The war which broke out between the United States of North America and the Mexican Republic, in the spring of 1846, is an event of great importance in the history of the world. Profound peace had reigned among Christian nations, since the downfall of Napoleon; and, with the exception of internal discords in France, Belgium, Poland and Greece, the civilized world had cause to believe that mankind would henceforth resort to the cabinet rather than the field for the settlement of international disputes. The recent conflicts between the French and the Arabs in Algeria, and between the British and Indian races, have been characterized by ferocity and endurance. But, it will be recollected these encounters took place between nations unequal alike in religion, morals, law, and civilization.
