Beschreibung: | Originally published in Der Deutsche Pionier, a German-language periodical in Cincinnati, Ohio Includes bibliographical references (p. [105]-109) and index "Frederick Zeh, a young German immigrant, had hardly arrived in the United States when he was caught up in the war fever that swept his new homeland. He joined the Mountain Howitzer and Rocket Company of the U.S. Army. His impressions of the siege of Veracruz, the long march to Mexico City, the bloody battles that occurred along the route, and the occupation of the capital provide a vivid and unusual account of the Mexican War from an enlisted man's point of view." "Although Zeh held the lowly rank of "laborer" in the army, he was well-educated and an astute observer, and his story is both lively and well-written. Besides the horror of battles, he tells about relations between officers and enlisted men, military punishment, and the day-to-day life of the soldiers. Numerous anecdotes and personal stories enliven his narrative. He is unusually candid about abuses that occurred in the American army and toward Mexican civilians. His is also the first book-length account written by a German-American participant - a significant contribution, given that nearly half the regular army was made up of immigrant recruits."--BOOK JACKET. From Philadelphia to Veracruz -- The siege and surrender of Veracruz -- March inland and the Battle of Cerro Gordo -- Respite in the city of Jalapa -- To Puebla and the Valley of Mexico -- Battles of Contreras and Churubusco -- Molino del Rey, Chapultepec, and Mexico |
