Excerpt from An Artillery Officer in the Mexican War, 1846-7: Letters of Robert Anderson, Captain 3rd Artillery, U. S. A The story of the war which was carried on between the United States and Mexico during the years 1846, 1847, d 1848 constitutes an interesting and brilliant chapter in the history of the nation. The record of the campaigns of the little American army makes also a distinctive contribution to the history of war. Since this war was brought to a close, more than half a century has passed. Two generations have come and gone, and the scenes and events of these campaigns now belong to history or to tradition, while the art of war itself has been very materially modified. The deeds of brave men belong, however, to all generations and a record of heroism and of patriotism serves to maintain the noblest impulses of human nature. The narrative in question falls naturally into three divisions: first, an analysis of the causes of the war, second, an account of the conduct of the campaign, and third, the actual consequences of the war. "The opening scene of the Mexican War aroused the country to a fever heat by reason of the tragic conditions that surrounded it. The first contention was over a narrow strip of comparatively worthless territory, lying between the Nueces River and the Rio Grande. The acquisition of Texas had led to the necessity of occupying the new boundary on the southwest, and General Zachary Taylor with a portion of our small regular army was sent to check any advance of Mexicans into the lately acquired territory.
