MEMOIRS OF A MARYLAND VOLUNTEER
War with Mexico, in the years lSi6-7-S. By John
h Kenly. Philadelphia: J. b. Lippincotf & Co.
Through X. b. Mohun Col
The history of the brilliant campaign CT our
troops under Taylor and Scott in the war with
Mexico will always be one of the most fasci-
mating pages of American history, both because
OF the 6ashing bravery displayed in the contests
and the romantic daring, rvalling that of COrtez
and PizarrO, that took our little army into the
very heart of Mexico, under broiling sun and
| through a plague-infested district fighting
battles at every step, attacking overwhelming
numbers in apparently inaccessible and impreg-
nable fortresses, and with communications cut
| OF as they advanced, by swarms of guerrilas.
We have nowhere seen the exciting history OF
this wonderful contest so well told, on the whole,
as in this book of General Kenly's. 1t also sup
| plies, what will be matter of interest to very
| many families here, a succinct narrative of the
| part taken in that war by the volunteers from
| the District Of Columbia.
