DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs a young army officer during the War with Mexico, Laidley commanded a field battery at Cerro Gordo and was instrumental in defending Pueblo against Santa Anna. His war letters to his father from 1845-48 reveal his low opinion of volunteer soldiers, cynicism about military promotions, and concerns over his physical and spiritual health. McCaffrey (history, U. of Houston) leaves Laidley's spelling and grammar intact, but introduces paragraph breaks. He briefly discusses the officer's life before and after the war.
