Download or read book Eagles and Empire written by David A. Clary and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-07-28 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A war that started under questionable pretexts. A president who is convinced of his country’s might and right. A military and political stalemate with United States troops occupying a foreign land against a stubborn and deadly insurgency. The time is the 1840s. The enemy is Mexico. And the war is one of the least known and most important in both Mexican and United States history—a war that really began much earlier and whose consequences still echo today. Acclaimed historian David A. Clary presents this epic struggle for a continent for the first time from both sides, using original Mexican and North American sources. To Mexico, the yanqui illegals pouring into her territories of Texas and California threatened Mexican sovereignty and security. To North Americans, they manifested their destiny to rule the continent. Two nations, each raising an eagle as her standard, blustered and blundered into a war because no one on either side was brave enough to resist the march into it. In Eagles and Empire, Clary draws vivid portraits of the period’s most fascinating characters, from the cold-eyed, stubborn United States president James K. Polk to Mexico’s flamboyant and corrupt general-president-dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna; from the legendary and ruthless explorer John Charles Frémont and his guide Kit Carson to the “Angel of Monterey” and the “Boy Heroes” of Chapultepec; from future presidents such as Benito Juárez and Zachary Taylor to soldiers who became famous in both the Mexican and North American civil wars that soon followed. Here also are the Irish Soldiers of Mexico and the Yankee sailors of two squadrons, hero-bandits and fighting Indians of both nations, guerrilleros and Texas Rangers, and some amazing women soldiers. From the fall of the Alamo and harrowing marches of thousands of miles in the wilderness to the bloody, dramatic conquest of Mexico City and the insurgency that continued to resist, this is a riveting narrative history that weaves together events on the front lines—where Indian raids, guerrilla attacks, and atrocities were matched by stunning acts of heroism and sacrifice—with battles on two home fronts—political backstabbing, civil uprisings, and battle lines between Union and Confederacy and Mexican Federalists and Centralists already being drawn. The definitive account of a defining war, Eagles and Empire is page-turning history—a book not to be missed.

Download or read book Mexican Trails written by Stanton Davis Kirkham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexican Trails: A Record of Travel in Mexico, 1904-07, and a Glimpse at the Life of the Mexican Indian This book is a glimpse of Old Mexico as I have caught it, not from the car-window, but from many a trail during three years spent in wandering over the country, from the Border to the Isthmus and from the Atlantic to the Pacific; a look at the little cities of New Spain, which was before Mexico, and a study of the village life of an Indian people who were before New Spain. Faintly enough, but faithfully I hope, it portrays the real Mexico; not the Mexico of the tourist, nor yet that of the man of affairs intent upon exploiting the country for his own ends, and incidentally for the country's welfare, but at the expense, necessarily, of all that is unpractical and picturesque.

Download or read book A Mexican Journey Classic Reprint written by E. H. Blichfeldt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mexican Journey Most of what appears in the following pages was first written for the Chautauquan magazine, though all has been carefully revised for its present use. If the fruits of laborious original research appear anywhere, it is the research of some one besides the author. His debt in this way is informally suggested by the text, except when it relates to things now become common property, and calling for no special acknowledgment. The opinions and sentiments expressed regarding our Mexican neighbors, on the contrary, may be taken as at first hand. Here also the writer would be presumptuous to set up any claims as a discoverer or to deny that he owes much to teachers and prompters. These opinions and sentiments, however, are such as without falsity he may call his own, and grow out of alert, sympathetic contact and correspondence with Mexicans for several years.

This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seven Years' Travel in Central America, Northern Mexico, and the Far West of the United States Behind the castle is a deep ravine, through which a clear brook rushes down to the sea between majestic trees. A crowd of half-naked women were occupied here in washing their linen. As we approached, they made signs that we should not come near - a rare instance of a feeling which in general seems to be almost unknown amongst the lower classes of Spanish America. As we proceeded in our walk we came to a grove of cocoa-nut trees, and on a small square between them saw the remains of a sugar factory, with several large kettles in good condition lying about. The establishment seemed to have never been in a working state, andmndoubtedly has been one of the many unfortue nate speculations begun in those regions of tropical America without a due appreciation of the difficulties and obstacles inseparably connected with the uncivilized state of a country, I have seen a like result of a similar speculation in British Honduras, where, in the wilderness surrounding the Mana tee Lagoon, l.
