A fine work by a participant of the war in which he describes the Navajo Expedition, the battles of Sacramento, Brazito, etc., their departure to New Orleans and final discharges. 

Includes Captain E. M. Daggett’s “Adventures with Guerrillas.” “About half this book is anecdotal” (Connor & Faulk). Written at times in a dictated text, the author offers interesting, sometimes detailed insights into the war. For example, he quotes the song “Remember the Alamo,” about which the observes; “The following was the war song of the Texas Rangers, during the war with Mexico, and by which they could always work their grit up to a fighting heat by singing it” (pp. 203- 204).
