Edited and with an introduction from Lawrence Delbert Cress. Pioneering war correspondent George Wilkins Kendall (1809-1867) wrote vividly from Mexico about America's first foreign war, which, after the victories of Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, enlarged our borders to include California, Texas, and New Mexico in the 1848 Treat of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Noted military historian Cress has collected and annotated Kendall's more than two hundred dispatches for the first time in this single volume. Illustrated.
