A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

United States without any great events of a military character at the commencement of the war with Mexico. The government 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. The novelty and importance of the struggle caused it to be regarded as the matter of chief interest during its continuance, and that which was felt in it by the American people was in no ways lessened by the glorious achievements of the army. The many modern facilities for extending information were all employed to set forth the different events as fast as they occurred, and the accounts were published with a rapidity and a redundancy almost unexampled.
