Official record from City of Mexico dated February 10 1848 recounts Brigadier General Lane leading about 350 mounted troops including Texas rangers third dragoons and mounted rifles on a pursuit against guerrillas and Santa Anna’s forces. After deception and a fatiguing night march toward Tehuacan and Orizaba the column made several captures and confrontations, including a skirmish near Teotihuacan where 17 of the enemy were killed and several officers praised for bravery. The expedition yielded captures of military clothing from Santa Anna and a formal surrender of Tehuacan and Córdoba authorities, with property seizures and guard actions across multiple towns. The report notes difficulties in pursuing Santa Anna due to exhausted horses and limited ammunition, and commends officers and men for discipline and resolve throughout the campaign.
