Marines Song Origin Traced to 1847 Mexican War
The United States Marines completed an investigation into From the Halls of Montezuma tracing its origin to September 1847 near Mexico City after victory in the Mexican War. An Aztec club officer drafted the first verse, later refined to three stanzas, with music from an old opera Genevieve de Bra. The ballad became a Marines icon across Civil War to World War I and beyond.
