Notes of the Mexican War, 1846-1848

"From Oswandel's time of enlistment in Pennsylvania to his discharge in July of 1848, he kept a daily record of events, often with the perception and intuition worthy of a highly ranked officer. In addition to Oswandel's engaging narrative, Timothy D. Johnson and Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr. provide an introduction that places Oswandel's memoir within present-day scholarship. They illuminate the mindset of Oswandel and his comrades, who viewed war with Mexico in terms of Manifest Destiny, and they give insight into Oswandel's historically common belief in Anglo-Saxon superiority"--Jacket.
