About This Item
Philadelphia: Gregg, Elliot & Co, 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Bound in contemporary leather. Spine chipped, with loss, splitting at edge. [iii-v] vi-xvi, [5] 6-558 pp. Frontis portrait of Gen. Zachary Taylor. 46 plates. <br> Brooks (1809-1898) was a prominent Maryland author and educator. "Polk caused the war by ordering Taylor into Mexican territory. Neither annexation nor claims against Mexican citizens would have been sufficient cause of war. Does not deal with slavery, expansion into new territories, or the California aspects of the war. This 1849 volume has fallen into widespread disuse among scholars, much to their loss, for it appears to be one of the most accurate of the early comprehensive histories. Contains a copy of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo [pp. 541-558]" (Tutorow). Contains extensive discussion of the Texas problem and battles in the state. Despite Tutorow's assertion, the work does contain material on California. An excellent, well-illustrated history." - Dorothy Sloan Auctions. <br> Refs: Connor & Faulk 5. Garrett & Goodwin, p. 11. Haferkorn, p. 10. Sabin 8360. Tutorow 3202.
