A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mexican War, the field of such performance lying in California. A member of the YERBA BUENA Volun teers, which Company he took a leading part in organizing, and was tendered the Captaincy, but declined it, preferring to serve as a private. The Company was recruited at this place, and acted, during the Winter of 184G- 7under orders of Capt. J. B. Hull, of the United States sloop of war Warren, Hull being then titled Governor and Commander-in-C hief of the Northern Department of California. The Company was not marched further than Santa Clara, and had but one engagement with the Hispano-C alifornia enemy, which, fortunately, proved bloodless; strategy, and a tender of the olive branch, securing us a victory. The hardest service rendered, was in standing guard, during the cold and rainy nights of that dreary Winter, in the outskirts of the little village of Yerba Buena, and scouting in vicinity since, changing its name and somewhat grown. Though not attached to any Mexican Veteran A ssociation, some members of the one here requested me to prepare an address for their anniversary, on the 14th of September, (taking of the City of Mexico by the American army in 1847); but such Association not having arranged for any public oratorical exercises, on that occasion, it is sent forth, somewhat amplified, to the Veterans throughout the Union, and to my fellow-citizens at large, through the medium of the multi-tongued types.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
