It has been remarked by a distinguished American statesman that "The commencement of the Mexican War was the opening of a new volume of American history. But when behold the brilliant results obtained by our Army with such small means against such immense superiority of force and see the high military skill of the commanding officers sustained by the courage and heroism of the troops we feel a just pride in describing their actions and recording their deeds. The description of the great movements and battles is based on public documents despatches and orders which must ever be the material of a reliable history of a war. Edward Deering Mansfield August 17 1801 —October 27 1880 was an American author. Mansfield was born in New Haven Connecticut. He graduated from West Point in 1818 but declined to enter the army and studied at Princeton from which he graduated in 1822. In 1825 he was admitted to the Connecticut bar. He afterward removed to Cincinnati and in 1836 became professor of constitutional law at Cincinnati College. Shortly afterward however he abandoned the legal profession to engage in journalism and edited successively the Cincinnati Chronicle 1836-49 Atlas 1849-52 and Railroad Record 1854-72. While editing the Chronicle and Atlas he introduced many young writers to the public among whom was Harriet Beecher Stowe. He was Commissioner of Statistics for the State of Ohio from 1859 to 1868 and was a member of the Société française de statistique universelle. His history of the Mexican War was highly regarded at the time and continues to be a well respected contemporary work to this day. This detailed history of the Mexican War examines the conflict from numerous angles; from events leading up to the 1845 Joint Resolution and annexation of Texas to the United States to the 1848 Treaty of Peace between the United States of America and the Mexican republic. The march of General Zachary Taylor's troops Taylor's official reports the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma the action of Congress and declarations of the President the Campaign of the Rio Grande the government plan to invade Northern Mexico the expedition of Captain Fremont General Scott ordered to Mexico General Taylor's movements the advance of the army to Lobos the entrance of the American army into Puebla the march to San Augustine the Mexican line of defense peace negotiations the Siege of Puebla and much more are discussed. "Those who have taken part in the stirring scenes which are described must have viewed them from different positions and an honest difference of opinion in regard even to facts will sometimes be found to exist. But the description of the great movements and battles is based on public documents despatches and orders which must ever be the material of a reliable history of a war." Excerpts from correspondence such as the 23 August 1843 letter from Mr. Bocanegra the Mexican minister of foreign relations to Waddy Thompson the United States minister in Mexico; maps and illustrations; and the 19 June 1848 Treaty of Peace add to the value of this work. Tables "show the number of regulars and volunteers with the list of the commanding officers; the number furnished by each State; the total strength and losses of the army; the number of killed and mortally wounded in each engagement; and the names of the officers killed."
