Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from El Puchero: Or, a Mixed Dish From Mexico, Embracing General Scott´s Campaign, With Sketches of Military Life, in Field and Camp, of the Character of the Country, Manners and Ways of the People, Etc When the author of the following letters was taking his rough and hurried notes in the confusion of the march, and sometimes during the din of battle, he had little thought of giving them to the world. The friend, however, to whom the letters were addressed, a distinguished lawyer and a man of eminent literary taste, recommended their publication, to which the author assented on condition of that gentleman´s making the campaign complete by giving, from official documents, the battles of Yera Cruz and Cerro Gordo. This he was kind enough to undertake, and from his pen came the spirited sketches at the end of this volume. He did more; - he wrote a highly finished essay on the political history of the War, which, however, he withdrew, because it was supposed to give the book itself a political bias foreign to its general design.
