Cerro Gordo Sacrifice and Bold Retreat by Volunteers
A Detroit era account describes Gen Pillow's volunteers, two Tennessee and two Pennsylvanian regiments, assaulting Cerro Gordo. Wounded generals, heavy casualties, and a prudent withdrawal amid reliable breastworks show the costly friction of the Mexican siege. The 7th and other units are praised for discipline, while Lieut. Ewell is noted for heroism before death.
