Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anecdotes and Incidents: Comprising Daring Exploits, Personal and Amusing Adventures of the Officers and Privates of the Army, and Thrilling Incidents of the Mexican War The brilliant operations of both divisions of the American army in Mexico have been themes of universal admiration, and the acclaim of the world has rendered a deserving tribute to the masterly qualities of our generals. Buena Vista stands upon the page of history as one of the most gallant defences of modern × while the rapid and successful movements of General Scott are, perhaps, unparalleled. To mention this, however, is a work of supererogation; it can add nothing to the laurel wreath that encircles the brows of our officers and soldiers, whose patriotism is only excelled by their gallantry on the field of battle. No war has been more prolific in interesting personal detail and thrilling incident than that between the United States and Mexico. The Peninsular War affords, perhaps, the only parallel; and even the heroic and brilliant exploits of that era have been fully equalled by our gallant army; while the peculiar character of Mexican fighting has rendered personal daring and sacrifice absolutely necessary.
