Items related to The War With Mexico
Ripley's work of 1849 is still preeminent. His sources were the people who actually fought the war, on both sides, and his writing is remarkable in its accessibility. Ripley gives a summary of the power struggles of France, Spain, Mexico and the US that led to armed conflict, gives details on the troops involved and military policies that led them, describes troop movements and battles in Texas, California and New Mexico and describes naval operations in the gulf of Mexico, and describes the strategies of the Americans and Mexicans who came to bear the brunt of the battles. In the meantime he keeps readers apprised of the political situations in the US and Mexico, the crises in manpower and materiel that plagued them both, and the aftermath of a combined diplomatic and military victory for the US.
