So Far from God: The U. S. War with Mexico, 1846-1848 | John S Eisenhower

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

The Mexican-American War of the 1840s, precipitated by border disputes and the U.S. annexation of Texas, ended with the military occupation of Mexico City by General Winfield Scott. In the subsequent treaty, the United States gained territory that would become California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. In this highly readable account, John S.D. Eisenhower provides a comprehensive survey of this frequently overlooked war.

Pretty good history but there are better newer ones on this subject. Amazing that small American armies under Z. Taylor and W. Scott and others could do so much. Many later Civil War generals on both sides got a start with this war. I hope to read more.

I am starting a history of the Mexican War in the 1840s.
