It's 1845. Texas joins the union and Mexico threatens war over the disputed Texas border. Meanwhile, expansionists dream of an America that sprawls all the way to the Pacific Coast. Can a conflict with an already war-torn Mexico satisfy this lust for territory? The Mexican-American War becomes the heroic proving ground for future Civil War generals and presidents of the United States, Mexico, and the Confederacy. But the glories of victory are tempered by the horrors of war--lives lost, bodies battered, souls shattered, dreams crushed, whole cities razed, and innocence forever dashed. 650 0 $a Mexican War, 1846-1848 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Texas $v Fiction. 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710043934.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060846.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20200130012105.0 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20191011010610.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20190918040132.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20190918024744.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190319011735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77B22D944A0C11E9BBA6C62E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
