A Brief History of the Mexican War

Oliver Otis Howard

0/5 ( ratings)

Originally published in 1886 in “Stoddart’s Encyclopaedia Americana: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and General Literature,” this Kindle edition, equivalent in length to a physical book of approximately 16 pages, explains the causes, campaigns, and results of America’s 1846-1848 war with Mexico.

Sample passage:
The general, for political and diplomatic reasons, for some time abstained from entering the capital, having posted his army to the south of it. A truce was then entered into between him and Santa Anna, but for some unknown reason it was several times broken by the Mexicans. As early as practicable, negotiations were begun with the Mexican civil functionaries. On September 2, the U.S. commissioner stated his ultimatum; namely, Texas to be given up, California and New Mexico to be ceded to the United States. These terms were rejected and the Mexicans commenced preparations for renewing the struggle in plain violation of the truce.

About the author:
New Englander Oliver O. Howard was a career United States Army officer and writer. Other works include “General Taylor,” “Fighting for Humanity,” and “My Life and Experiences Among Our Hostile Indians.”
