Excerpt from History of the Mexican War In the year 1844 a President was to be elected in the United States, and the most prominent issue submitted by party leaders to the people for consideration and discussion during the Presidential campaign was the annexation of Texas, whose independence, achieved in 18 36 after a series of des perate conflicts with Mexico, had been acknowledged by the United States and the leading European powers, but was still disputed by Mexico.

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 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 Between Mexico and the United States, Vol. 1: With a Preliminary View of Its Origin I have thought it proper to state in my introductory chap ter, thus much of the laws and system under which Mexico began her national existence - for laws modify the charac ter whenever they are not self-imposed. Let us now, for a moment consider the population which was subjected to the bad administration of such laws; and we shall then under stand better the character of the belligerents.

Excerpt from The War With Mexico, Vol. 1 of 2 But it will not do to base future action upon the results of experience, unless, indeed, the part which fortune has borne has been fairly considered, and it therefore becomes more than ever important that the record should be exact for the continuance of peace is always uncertain, and governments and people are prone to adopt one course of policy in wars, to a certain degree, regardless of the diverse nature of their enemies. Different views of mili tary matters, which may very truly and properly be taken by writers viewing them from different points, may assist in developing the truth. Cer tainly many written with good intention are re quired, when some are erroneous on account of in accuracies purposely set forth for the furtherance of partial interests. The present work has been mainly prepared during a period of respite from ordinary profes sioual duties. It is feared that the time has been too short for the undertaking, in consideration of its magnitude and the importance of the subject, but the time at my disposal has nearly expired, and it must be presented as it is.

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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the War Between the United States and Mexico: From the Commencement of Hostilities to the Ratification of the Treaty of Peace I have also derived much valuable information from the letters of the regular and occasional correspondents of differ ent public journals, and, particularly, those of the New Or leans press. I have often found these, however, conflicting very materially with the official statements, and, as, from the nature of the case, was to be presumed, more or less tinged with the gossip of the camp. It has, therefore, been some times extremely difficult to separate the real from the fanci ful; and I can hardly flatter myself with the hope that I have entirely avoided errors, though I trust none may be found, impairing the general fidelity of the work.
