Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from General Lane´s Brigade in Central Mexico I Offer the following pages to the American public, hoping by so doing, that I have presented something new and something which has never before been made public. The operations of General Lane, in the Mexican War, were of the most brilliant character, so much so, indeed, that he won by them the appellation of "the Marion of the War;" this compliment, which was doubtless intended as a high one, does not do justice to Lane. His exploits were far more brilliant and successful than those of that hero of the Revolution, and Lane therefore, cannot be considered as a copyist of his. He is an original - or, if he resembles any one in particular, it is his own namesake, Marshal Lannes. In these pages I have attempted to do justice to him and his Brigade, and hope I have not altogether failed in doing so. My position as First Lieutenant in an Indiana regiment, was obtained by my being in the State of Indiana during the winter of 1846-47, and the following spring I joined a Volunteer company, and received the rank of Second Lieutenant, and I was afterward promoted to a First Lieutenancy. No apologies are offered for my work; it must stand or fall by itself; I claim for it but one merit, which is Truth.
