A Narrative from the Mexican War. There is hardly a book that gives so intelligent and lively a description of the actualities of the war in Mexico, and hardly a work in the English language which presents so interesting a picture of a soldier's life - his round of conversation, his employments, his toils, dangers and escapes - what he sees and does, and how he does it - as this autobiography. The reader will find it difficult to part company with the author. There is no "fine writing" to pall upon the taste. Everything is told naturally, and everything is described earnestly.
