Excerpt from General Lane's Brigade in Central Mexico I have attempted to give a fair and impartial account of Gen. Lane's proceedings as they fell under my notice, noting down whatever occurred worthy of especial atten tion; though it must be admitted that the toilsome march, where the footsteps of men may be tracked in blood, and cheerless nights, made more dreary by cold and pelting storms, are but ill calculated to inspire a person with a love of journal writing, or with fanciful images. This fact, I presume, needs no proof in order to be believed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
