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 $a Mexican War, 1846-1848 $x Fiction 650 $a Mexican-American Border Region $x Fiction 650 $a Mexico $x Fiction 650 $a Texas $x Fiction 008 s2019 941 $a 11 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033455.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013739.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054316.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20200908011817.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200801010416.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20200602014230.0 952 $l VPPC384 $d 20200407013557.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20191004011544.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20190918025050.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20190723011706.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20190719154622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB3042A698A011E990AE302E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
