Massacre Tales From Cameron Expedition Executions
A 1843 telegram recounts the Sevan Meir expedition massacre by Mexican authorities. Captain Cameron and 15 officers and men drew beans to determine fate. Cameron drew a white bean and was executed with others after dark. Witnesses describe grim, dignified deaths, notable refusals to beg for mercy, and emotional reactions of Mexicans and fellow soldiers.
