Batalla de la Angostura. El Corresponsal del Ejercito Numeros 19 20 21 22 y 23

18471307Mexico City 1847. Good plus. 202pp. Large folio. Original printed wrappers bound in contemporary marbled boards rebacked and recornered in recent morocco gilt leather spine label all edges marbled. Numerous additional blank leaves bound in. Rubbing and scuffing to boards moderate edge wear; wraps with repaired chips and tears. Early 20th-century bookplate on front pastedown small ink stamps scattered throughout. A couple of short repaired edge tears internally; light tanning and foxing. A rare Mexican view of the defeat suffered by forces under the command of Santa Anna in the Battle of Buena Vista at the hands of Zachary Taylor during the Mexican-American War. The battle occurred in late February 1847 when Santa Anna freshly recalled from exile in Cuba rushed his new army north to halt the southern advance of Taylor's forces from Texas. Taylor had already been victorious at the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma and had captured Monterrey and Saltillo before much of his army was sent to assist in the invasion of Veracruz being prepared by Winfield Scott. When Santa Anna attacked the American forces dug in at Buena Vista south of Saltillo on February 22nd he did so with an army far superior numerically but also one far less trained and experienced and was driven back with heavy losses. Taylor's enhanced reputation and legend that grew out of the battle took him to the White House in 1848. Both sides claimed victory in the battle. Santa Anna did so on the perhaps dubious grounds that although his own army suffered numerous casualties and withdrew from the field Taylor with his now limited forces halted his advance after the conclusion of the engagement. The present work provides a detailed account of the battle from the Mexican point of view printed as five consecutive issues of their official military periodical but published separately with its own wrappers and a sheet with two large woodcut maps. The report as the introduction from the editor makes clear was intended as a defense against criticism from parties within Mexico concerning the conduct of the brief campaign: "Despues de terminar los partes oficiales nos encargaremos de refutar un cuaderno que se ha impreso recientemente con el solo objecto de eclipsar el brillo que las armas mexicanas adquierieron el mes de Febrero ultimo en el estado de Coahuila y que parece escrito si no por Taylor mismo si bajo su influencia y por el poder del oro americano. El ilustre general Santa-Anna nunca ha sido mas digno del amor y reconocimiento de sus conciudadanos y nunca tampocoha debido considerarsele come general y como mexicano mas digno de elogio que en la epoca actual." The work first contains a lengthy report by Santa Anna and several shorter ones from his lieutenants that present the performance of the Mexican army and the results of the battle in the most positive possible light. The majority of the work comprises a unit-by-unit account of Mexican action during the battle with detailed descriptions of the participation of each regiment including lists of soldiers killed wounded and missing in action. The two woodcut maps delineate the geography and trails of the area surrounding Saltillo and the initial order of battle on the field. As a result the work serves not only as a brisk defense of Mexican military conduct but also as an important and comprehensive record of the Mexican side of the engagement. Very rare -- we locate only three copies at Yale Harvard and the University of Texas and none in auction records. books

Domingo Ibarra Gobernador Constitucional de Estado Libre y Soberano de Puebla. A Sus Habitantes Sabed: Que el Congreso Ha Decretado Lo Siguiente.Entranto Se Decretan y Realizan Contribuciones Generales a Fin de Que Todos los Habitantes del Estado Cooperan a los Gastos de la Guerra. caption title and first part of text

18471731Puebla 1847. Good plus. Broadside approximately 17 x 12.25 inches. Previously folded near lower and right edges to fit in a folio volume with several small stab holes at left edge where previously bound. Some separation from left edge along lower fold line and small area of loss at fold point not affecting text. Light tanning and faint foxing. A rare broadside that promulgates a March 16 1847 decree of the Puebla state government that sought to raise emergency funds for the army facing the American invasion at Veracruz during the Mexican-American War. This decree printed and published in Puebla the following day under the authority of its governor Domingo Ibarra orders the formation of a group to be called the "Patriotic Board of Aid" in order to assure the participation of its citizens. The first article of the decree announcing the establishment of the junta reads as follows: "Entretanto se decretan y realizan contribuciones generales Ã¡ fin de que todos los habitantes del Estado cooperen Ã¡ los goastos de la guerra se establecerÃ¡ en la capital una reunion para proporcionar prontos recursos que se denominarÃ¡ 'Junta patriotica de auxilios.'" The subsequent sixteen articles define the constitution authority and goals of the group. The second article for example stipulates the specific legislative judicial religious and municipal bodies that will nominate two members each to the junta. The fourth article outlines the responsibilities of the board -- to acquire a loan of up to 100000 pesos using the state income as collateral; to seek cash and military supplies via donation loan or purchase; to administer the delivery of goods and money to the army at Veracruz; and to issue state treasury bonds to lenders. The group according to the last article has eight days to amass a much as possible before reporting their results to the state. At this point in the war not only was the entire country under enormous pressure from the landing of Winfield Scott's army but Puebla was also suffering from the significant unrest of the Polkos Revolt which had led to an unsuccessful insurrection aided by a portion of the military garrison in the city just a week prior to the publication of this decree. Indeed the need to ensure the participation of all citizens in the costs of the war is mentioned and emphasized at several points in the decree. The larger size of this broadside underscores the importance of the message and its distribution as well. A fascinating and rare document of emergency efforts at the state level to support the war effort against the United States. We locate only one copy of this rare broadside at Yale. books

Domingo Ibarra Gobernador del Estado de Puebla a Sus Habitantes. Conciudadanos: La Tranquilidad Publica Se Ha Visto en el Riesgo Mas Inminente de Perderse. caption title and first line of text

18471729Puebla 1847. Very good. Broadside 12.5 x 8.5 inches. Minor foxing and toning. An unrecorded broadside that prints the thanks and admonitions of the Governor of Puebla Domingo Ibarra following an attempted insurrection there in late February and March 1847 during the Mexican-American War. The uprising was a part of the so-called Polkos Rebellion that followed popular outrage at a January law that allowed the federal government to seize church property in order to pay for the war effort. In Puebla the revolt involved elements of the city's military garrison but was successfully put down by the rest of the guard. Ibarra begins by lamenting the sedition and thanking the loyal portion of the garrison: "La tranquilidad publica se ha visto en el riesgo mas inminente de perderse. Unos oficiales del 2o Batallon que no merecian por cierto pertenecer Ã¡ la Guardia Nacional ni menos tener por gefes a los muy honrados patriotas que los mandaban intentaron atrevidamente abrir las puertas de su cuartel para convocar Ã¡ la gente que habian seducido y rebelarse contra sus mismos gefes y compaÃ±eros en la espresada Guardia y demas cuerpos de esta guarnicion. Solo calculando la magnitud de los males que de tan loca idea podian sobrevenir Ã¡ los habitantes de esta hermosa ciudad es como puden estimarse los servicios del Sr. comandante general de los Sres. gefes oficiales y tropa de la Guardia Nacional y de los otros benÃ©meritos cuerpos de esta guarnicion que lograron librarnos de aquellos sin que derramase una sola gota de sangre." And he continues by warning the citizens of Puebla against continued foolishness in the face of the enemy and also by asserting his resolve to resist further insurrection: Â¡Plegue al cielo dar Ã todos los mexicanos el juicio bastante para no provocar sobre nostros mismos otras desgracias que las consiguientes Ã una guerra extrangera con un enemigo astuto y ponderoso y que nos invade por todas partes! Pero si desgaciadamente y lo que no es de esperarse aun aparecieren sÃ¬ntomas de nueva rebelion descansad conciudadanos en que el ejecutivo del Estado se sacrificarÃ¡ por hacer que reine en esta ciudad la confianza la paz y la union sincera que tanto necesitamos." A strong statement by a clearly relieved Mexican state official. We locate no copies in OCLC or available sales records. unknown books

El Gobernador del Estado Libre y Soberano de Puebla a Sus Habitantes. Conciudadanos: El Genio del Mal Esta Soplando Entre Nosotros su Aliento Venenoso para Perdernos y Perder a la Republica. caption title and first line of text

18471730Puebla 1847. Very good. Broadside 12.75 x 8.5 inches. Minor soiling and wear. A rare broadside that prints the thanks and admonitions of the Governor of Puebla Domingo Ibarra following an attempted insurrection there in late February and March 1847 during the Mexican-American War. The uprising was a part of the so-called Polkos Rebellion that followed popular outrage at a January law that allowed the federal government to seize church property in order to pay for the war effort. In Puebla the revolt involved elements of the city's military garrison but was successfully put down by the rest of the guard. In this address Ibarra seeks to inspire unity amongst the citizenry and to warn them of the imminent danger of the American army having just landed at Veracruz. The broadside begins: "Conciudadanos: el gÃ©nio del mal estÃ¡ soplando nosotros su aliento venenoso para perdernos y perder Ã¡ la repÃºblica. El enemigo acaba de desembarcar en nuestras costas con un tren considerable de guerra para sojuzgarnos y en estas circunstancias se os invita Ã¡ la rebelion y Ã¡ que apoyando las miras liberticidad de los disidentes de MÃ©xico se haga caer un gobierno contra el que se tiene el mayor encono porque es el que se ha propuesto afirmar el sistema federal en el que se ven frustrados los perversos planes de los monarquistas. Si hoy que se vÃ© la patria en un peligro tan imminente no se contienen los enemigos de las instituciones porque su ambicion de mando se hace superior Ã toda consideracion Â¿quÃ© serÃ¡ cuando estemos en calma si la Providencia permite que salvemos nuestra nacionalidad" The landing of Scott at Veracruz was probably the primary encouragement for negotiations between rebel factions and the federal government. Ibarra concludes: "Obrad con vuesta acostumbrada cordura y asÃ dejareis burladas las miras de los que os seducen. Atendad Ã que la salvacion del Estado es el primero de nuestros deberes y dejad para despues las cuestiones domÃ©sticas. El pÃ©rfido norte-americano nos estÃ¡ provocando Ã¡ las guerra casi en nuestras mismas puertas: corramos Ã¡ combartirlo: auxiliÃ©mos Ã nuestros hermanos de Veracruz que estÃ¡n pidiÃ©ndonos socorro y tendrÃ la gloria de ser el primero que sacrifique con vosotros vuetro conciudidano y amigo."

SIEGE OF VERA CRUZ BY THE U.S. TROOPS UNDER MAJOR GENERAL SCOTT IN MARCH 1847 FROM SURVEYS MADE BY MAJOR TURNBULL CAPTAINS HUGHES McCLELLAN & JOHNSTON; LIEUTENANTS DERBY & HARDCASTLE TOPL. ENGINEERS. DRAWN BY CAPT. McCLELLAN

1847WRCAM48455Washington D.C. 1847. Engraved map 16 x 25 1/4 inches with hand- coloring on a 19 1/2 x 27 inch sheet. Worn around the edges with chips and loss not affecting the map imagery itself. Two closed tears in the left edge do intrude into the map. Paper tanned upper portion stained. About good. A scarce and detailed map of the Siege of Vera Cruz a turning point in the Mexican- American War. Winfield Scott with ten thousand American troops and a siege train landed on the beach near Vera Cruz on March 9 1847. The American forces outnumbered the Mexican defenders of the city by a two-to-one margin and the American guns were especially devastating. The city's castle was undamaged but the terrified citizenry implored Gen. Juan Morales to capitulate which was done at the end of March. The map notes American casualties as twelve killed and sixty-one wounded the actual numbers were slightly higher; the casualty rate among Mexican soldiers and civilians outnumbered that of the Americans. Vera Cruz would become an important port base for the American forces. This map shows the coastline from the road to Jalapa to the landing point of the American troops. The city and its main defenses are shown in detail and the headquarters of American commanders Scott Worth Patterson and Twigg are also shown. The Line of Investment is colored in red as is the location of the American hospital. Text on the map describes the make-up of the divisions led by Patterson Worth and Twigg. This map was drawn by George B. McClellan then a captain under Winfield Scott and a participant in the battle some fifteen years before he achieved notoriety as a commander in the Civil War and as the Democratic nominee for president in 1864. OCLC records some sixteen institutional copies but in our experience this map is scarce in the market. unknown books
