Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico I Have yielded with a good deal of reluctance to the importunities of many of my friends in consenting to devote the little leisure which is left me from professional and other avocations, to writing the following pages. No thought of such a thing ever occurred to me during my residence in Mexico, or I should have supplied myself, as I had abundant means of doing, with the materials for such a work. The book, therefore, will be found to contain just what its title imports - "Recollections and Desultory Dissertations." The reader must not expect the life and freshness of a finished picture, but mere sketches and outlines - nor that minute exactness of detail on many subjects which may be desirable, although I believe that the sketches will be found to be generally accurate; I can say in the words of an affidavit to an answer in chancery, "that the facts stated as of my own knowledge are true, and those stated on the information of others I believe to be true." I am not sure, however, that a description of the customs, scenes, and peculiarities of a country is not generally the better for being written a year or two after the writer has left it. The want of exactness in minute particulars is compensated by the absence of a sometimes wearisome tediousness of detail, and often of circumstances of interest only to the writer. And it is perhaps also true that the general remembrance - a sort of skeleton map which is left on the mind of the writer will give to the reader a more accurate coup d'aeil of the country and all its peculiarities, physical and social, than a more minute description. Before I went to Mexico I sought in vain for some work which would give me some idea of the society, manners, and customs of that unique, and, in a great degree, primitive people. This want has been since supplied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Recollections of Mexico: And the Battle of Buena Vista, Feb; 22 and 23, 1847 [Although it has always been the intention of the writer to record for his own satisfaction, his memories of the scenes occurring in Mexico, at or about the time of the battle of Buena Vista, this record might have been procrastinated, - just as repentance is too often said to be, - but for a feeling of duty towards an association of gentlemen, each of whom contributes for the general information from the stores of his own professional knowledge. Even now this is offered with some hesitation, because this battle, which appeared to us and to the country as of such great importance at the time, is dwarfed into insignificance by the giant struggles of these later days, whose warriors were counted by millions, and their dead by hundreds of thousands, - which gave an emperor to reunited Germany, and a president to the re United States. Yet this lesser struggle, where our soldiers were but as many thousands, and our dead as many hundreds, was still the bloodiest strife that our country had ever then known. And this victory likewise gave a president to our great country. This narrative is offered really from personal recollections only, first written down within a very few days recently, as an offering to the association above alluded to. But the recollection of these events has so crowded upon the memory, that much may appear to be of minor detail and of lesser interest. Yet there may be an excuse for introducing many of these incidents which would scarcely become the grave page of history, except, perhaps, as its foot-notes, as it appeared there might be more of life and interest to the narrative, in the writer's being able to say 'I saw,' instead of 'I have read' or 'heard.' And all of this he may say he saw, or had from the eye-witnesses within a very few days after. Nothing is from the record of others, or even from his own letters, orders, or notes, excepting only the maps made by himself, and a glace at a single page of statistics from Captain (now General) Carlton's book, the only history of this battle as yet published. It is perhaps at times more difficult in this profession than in any other to relate what has been seen, without appearing, however unconsciously, to play the role of "magna pars fui." It is more rare to write, than to fight, like the great Roman; to do both, the world's verdict gives but to himself. But the subordinate position of a lieutenant must avert the suspicion of assumption here; while, as an engineer, the calls to the many various portions of such a field would make it a duty to see if possible, if not even to record, every circumstance that occurred.] It will be remembered by our older friends, that the war of 1846-48 for Texas was mainly a Southern war, and principally for the benefit of a "domestic institution," now happily existing no more among us; though the North, as in duty bound, when the whole country was involved, bore its fair, full share in the struggle. Yet, as showing what slight causes actually precipitated that war, I may mention, as of interest, a single sentence, that many years after I accidentally heard brought out at a dinner-table, from the speaker himself, Mr. Benton, which, as I believe, had more effect than all things else to bring on the actual conflict.
