Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dad Across the plaza, under the white sun-glare, marched and countermarched the crack regiment´s bronzed men in their heavy high caps and the rest of the odd regimentals of the late Forties. From walls and roofs hung a myriad of more or less soiled American flags. On the plaza band stand a group of Mexican musicians were wrestling with "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." This last feature of the celebration was a bit of tragic irony attributed to no less a humorist than the arch-victor, the hero of the day - Major-General Winfield Scott. The native musicians were in no wise loath, on patriotic grounds, to play "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." They were professional performers. One tune meant as much, and as little, to them as another. They had not the faintest notion that they were playing a national air of their nation´s conquerors.
