The War with Mexico, Volume 1 (of 2)
Transcriber’s Note
Topic descriptions
Right-side page headers contained descriptions of the current topic covered by the two open pages. These were retained and are placed as marginal notes. The choice of that position is not always obvious and should be regarded as approximate.
Illustrations are placed at approximately the point where they were printed. The captions are usually printed on the maps themselves. Where there is no obvious title to the map, the caption has been provided from the table of illustrations, in mixed case.
Larger images of full-page maps are available by using the hyperlink added to the caption. These may be opened in separate windows.
This is the first of two volumes of The War with Mexico . The index, which is contained in Volume II, refers to both volumes. References to Volume II have been included as hyperlinks.
Volume II of can be found at Project Gutenberg with the following address:

The cover image was created by the transcriber, and is placed in the public domain.
