Of the forties. the Mexicans did
not win q single battle, notwith-
standing the fact that they inva-
riably outnumbered the United
States forces and always had the
advantages of the position. No
charge of cowardice was ever
brought against the Mexican rank
and file, or against their leaders;
on the other hand they stood up
to the music in fine shape, and,
so far as courage was concerned,
came out of the struggle with
honor. But they did not seem
TO be able to stand up success
fully before the Americans. Not
once did they whip their cool
