Sinossi

Excerpt from Scott's Campaign in Mexico: From the Rendezvous on the Island of Lobos to the Taking of the City; Including an Account of the Siege of Puebla, With Sketches of the Country, and Manners and Customs of the Inhabitants

The war with Mexico has solved the problem of the efficiency of the citizen soldiery of America, either upon a defensive or an offensive field - on the genial soil of her own sunny land, and amid the poisonous malaria of a foreign clime - at home or abroad, on the land or the sea, wherever her flag has been unfurled, and the tocsin call to arms has been sounded, there she has rallied her own Spartan band, and the strong arms and stout hearts of her citizen soldiers have never failed to carry it on to victory.
