Excerpt from Mexican War Letters of Col. William Bowen Campbell of Tennessee, Written to Governor David Campbell of Virginia, 1846-1847: With Introduction and Notes I have two fine horses which I brought from Tenn. They have been much worsted in the voyage here, but I h0pe soon to recruit them and make them serve me during the campaign, and I have an Irish servant who is kind and attentive and serve-s me faithfully. So do not fear but I shall get on well if some disease does not overtake me. There are now more than twelve thousand volunteers in the army of occupation scattered along the Rio Grande, here and about Point Isabel and towards Matamoras, and if Genl. Taylor had the means of supplying his army, he could make an immediate move upon Monterey and could strike an effective blow. This is a much worse country to campaign in than Florida. Water and wood is so very scarce. I have not seen timber yet. We cook with coal brought from Ohio or Penn. Florida has an abundance of fine timber and excellent water. Again adieu.

The definitive history of the often forgotten U.S.-Mexican War paints an intimate portrait of the major players and their world—from Indian fights and Manifest Destiny, to secret military maneuvers, gunshot wounds, and political spin. “If one can read only a single book about the Mexican-American War, this is the one to read.” —The New York Review of Books Often overlooked, the U.S.-Mexican War featured false starts, atrocities, and daring back-channel negotiations as it divided the nation, paved the way for the Civil War a generation later, and launched the career of Abraham Lincoln. Amy S. Greenberg’s skilled storytelling and rigorous scholarship bring this American war for empire to life with memorable characters, plotlines, and legacies. Along the way it captures a young Lincoln mismatching his clothes, the lasting influence of the Founding Fathers, the birth of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and America’s first national antiwar movement. A key chapter in the creation of the United States, it is the story of a burgeoning nation and an unforgettable conflict that has shaped American history.
