Some Sidelights on the Mexican War by a Veteran
A veteran recalls Vera Cruz sieges from 1847 and earlier wars, noting the 1847 landing and thirteen day siege, then contrasts earlier and modern conflicts. He cites Gen. Gibson, references Miramon, Juarez, and multiple foreign interventions, and critiques Huerta’s Tampico apology while recounting Japan’s 1868 execution witnessed by U.S. officers. He ends with a grim, graphic meditation on war’s horrors and a call for peace.
