Official Mexican Printing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The official Mexican printing of the final text of the landmark Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ending the Mexican War and delivering to the United States its current territory in the Southwest. This printing closely follows the Queretaro edition produced just a few months earlier but contains added protocols excluded from that earlier printing. The full text appears here in both English and Spanish on facing pages. Pages 46-49 contain the text of amendments made to the treaty by the United States Senate followed by a statement of Pena y Pena dated May 30 1848 accepting the modifications and concluded by a Protocol dated May 26 attempting to put the best light on the treaty from the Mexican point of view. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the war between the United States and Mexico resulted in the formal cession of the entire Southwest and California to the United States. Agreements were reached for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico the payment of Mexican claims and the formal cession of territory the U.S. had already occupied all of the land. The theoretical boundaries were set out and arrangements for boundary commissioners were made. By this treaty the United States obtained an addition of land equalled in size only by the Louisiana and Alaska purchases. A fundamental piece of Western Americana here in the official Mexican edition of the complete treaty and scarce on the market.

MEXICAN WAR Winfield SCOTTABAA

Headquarters of the Army National Palace of Mexico Sept. 17 1847. General Orders - No. 287

184724284Mexico City 1847. 4pp. printed on a single folded sheet. Old vertical crease. Three tears along the central fold resulting in loss of paper but no text. Important order establishing martial law in Mexico City. A rare copy of an important order issued by General Winfield Scott just days after his victory at the Battle of Chapultepec and his taking of Mexico City. Chapultepec was the final victory in Scott's march to the Mexican capital following victories at Cerro Gordo Contreras Churubusco and Molino del Rey. Largely outnumbered against Santa Anna's forces Scott produced a series of stunning victories leading to the capture of Mexico City and the issuance of this broadside which seeks to establish order by proclaiming martial law. A preamble to the General Orders announces that this is a restatement "with important additions" of Scott's order of February 19 1847 issued from Tampico which also declared martial law. In the present order meant to maintain order in the newly-conquered city Scott lays out the prohibitions for a wide variety of acts including assassination murder poisoning rape assault robbery theft the desecration of churches and cemeteries and more. Significantly he announces that such rules will apply equally to Americans as to Mexicans. He points out that these laws are important not only to guide his army but "for the protection of the unoffending inhabitants and their property about the theatres of military operations against injuries on the part of the army contrary to the laws of war." Scott further extends martial law to any part of Mexico under the control of U.S.forces. Lastly Scott announces that the American army will safeguard all of the churches monasteries convents inhabitants and property in Mexico City and announces a "contribution" of $150000 to be imposed on the capital to pay for these services payable in four equal installments. The order is signed in manuscript at the end by Winfield Scott's Assistant Adjutant General H.L. Scott. Garrett locates a copy at the University of Texas at Arlington and OCLC adds copies at the California State Library Sutro copy and the University of North Carolina. Garrett p.390; OCLC 52501908. unknown books

Mexican American War Farnum John EgbertABAA

Autograph Document Signed "J. Egbert Farnum late of the U.S.A." Being a hand-written poem relating an incident of the Mexican American War

1854307508New York City 1854. 3 pp. pen and ink on bifolium. 8vo. Old folds very minor stain to edge of bottom right corner on first page not affecting text else fine. 3 pp. pen and ink on bifolium. 8vo. A SURPRISINGLY POIGNANT POEM FROM A HARDENED VETERAN. Romantic in a style befitting the era Farnum offers a graphic account of a a heart-wrenching scene from battle which he describes as "carelessly written but respectfully dedicated to Maria L. Green." Reading in part: ."Where hot and fiercest raged the fight Where lead came down like rain ~ Where bursting bombshells feeble light Discovered heaps of slain ~ I saw a little laughing sprite A joyous little dear Leading a pet lamb through the fight Without one though of fear. ~" Soldier express rider mercenary adventurer and notoriously hard drinking brawler John Egbert Farnum's 1824-1870 military career began in the Mexican American War where he served as a sgt. major in the 2nd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. He would go on to see action in the Crimean War and the jungles of Cuba and Nicaragua before enlisting as a major in the Union Army in 1861. Farnum fought gallantly in some of the bloodiest engagements of the American Civil War including Fredericksburg Chancellorsville and Gettysburg before his wounds forced him to retire from active service Farnum was shot 19 times and suffered two saber wounds. He was promoted to brevet brigadier general for his meritorious service. Despite his incredible war record Farnum is more often remembered for his involvement in the infamous voyage of the schooner Wanderer. Built as a luxury racing yacht the Wanderer was purchased by William Corrie in 1858 with the assistance of southern "fire eater" Charles A.L. Lamar. Corrie had the schooner refitted as a slave ship and along with Farnum who later claimed ignorance of the scheme and the ship's crew sailed to Africa and loaded 407 slaves aboard. They arrived off Jeckyll Island Georgia in November and were arrested for violating the 1807 Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves. Farnum was charged with piracy. He escaped jail but was recaptured and after a lengthy and sensational trial in which the President of the United States James Buchanan came to his defense he was acquitted of all charges. unknown books
