[47.] An English soldier in our army said with reference to the better class at Tampico: they were shy of “the strange, wild-looking, hairy-faced savages of the half-horse and half-alligator breed, who galloped about the streets and plazas mounted on mules and Mexican ponies, and armed with sabres, bowies, and revolvers, and in every uncouth variety of costume peculiar to the American backwoodsman”; adding that the Mexicans addressed them as “Gentlemen,” but in their absence spoke of them with intense bitterness as “cursed volunteers” (Ballentine, Eng. Sold., i, 276–7).

[48.] The foreigners residing at Mexico generally received the American army well.

[49.] In a soldier’s written vocabulary occurred these words: weaves (for huevos), chickketer (chiquita), sennereters (señoritas), irrancus (naranjas), onerpas (un peso), leavero (libro). There were cases in which women went long distances to give information to officers they had never seen. After the battle of Cerro Gordo ladies at Mexico wore their hair loose “à la Scott,” and were rebuked by the press.
