The Mier Expedition (Hardcover)

The Mier Expedition is a historical non-fiction book written by Walter F. McCaleb that provides a detailed account of the ill-fated expedition of a group of Texan soldiers to Mexico in 1842. The book follows the journey of the Texan soldiers, who were sent to invade Mexico and capture the town of Mier, but were ultimately captured and forced to endure a grueling march to Mexico City. McCaleb's account of the expedition includes the events leading up to the invasion, the battles fought by the Texans, and the brutal treatment they received as prisoners of war. The book also delves into the political and social climate of Texas and Mexico during this time period, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the historical context in which the expedition took place. The Mier Expedition is a well-researched and engaging read that sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Texas and Mexican history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
