Synopsis
Excerpt from Legends of Mexico
It was in the spring of 1846, that this cry, thundering from twenty-nine states, aroused a People into arms, and startled Europe, its Kings and Slaves, into shuddering awe.
It was in the dawn of the year, when the blossoms of spring were upon the trees, and the Promise of a golden harvest on the fields, that a fiery blast came from the far south, scattering the blossoms of battle over the hills of our land, and darkening the sky with clouds of lurid grandeur clouds that gave Promise of a harvest of blood.

About the Author
George Lippard was a popular and prolific nineteenth-century novelist, journalist, playwright, and social activist. He was a close friend of Edgar Allan Poe and was credited by Poe as saving him from the streets on numerous occasions. He called his historical fiction stories "Legends" as they were not so much about what happened as about what he thought ought to have happened.
