It was in protest against the war with Mexico that Henry David Thoreau refused to pay his poll tax, and wrote his famous essay \"Civil Disobedience.\" \u003cp\u003e In extraordinarily vivid terms, Chidsey re-creates the wanton massacre of a whole company of American troops, the heroic defense and fall of the Alamo, the dramatic battles of Buena Vista and Vera Cruz, and the invasion of Mexico, culminating in the storming of Chapultepec and entrance into Mexico City itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Sam Houston, the enigmatic and powerful Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Zachary Taylor, Jose Herrera, General Winfield Scott, James K. Polk, and others in the forefront of battles and behind the scenes, and here, too-seen with all the intimate detail that has made Donald Barr Chidsey unsurpassed in his field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Barr Chidsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479432016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479432011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald Barr Chidsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088365269247,"sku":"9781479432011","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6601c188-1b9f-4b4e-ad0b-70e850ffe7cc.jpg?v=1769104431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/andrew-jackson-hero-donald-barr-chidsey-9781479432011","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
