Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Taylor and His Staff If the Hero of Buena Vista nobly commenced the present war with Mexico, the Hero of Chippewa has not less nobly completed the second Conquest of Mexico. General Scott and his splendid army have "won golden opinions of all sorts of men." They have displayed all the best qualities of commanders and soldiers. They have carried on sieges and captured cities which were considered impregnable, with a force apparently hardly adequate for a forlorn hope. They have fought pitched battles and won them, opposing fresh recruits to veteran troops. They have accomplished marches over routes before considered utterly impassible; captured fortresses bristling with cannon, by means of the rifle and bayonet; and planted the star-spangled banner upon the proud "Halls of Montezuma."
