It provided a window onto the outside world and promoted an awareness of a people and a land unlike any Americans had known before. This rich cultural history examines the place of the Mexican War in the popular imagination of the era. Drawing on military and travel accounts, newspaper dispatches, and a host of other sources, Johannsen vividly recreates the mood and feeling of the period--its unbounded optimism and patriotic pride--and adds a new dimension to our understanding of both the Mexican War and America itself.Mexican War, 1846-1848InfluenceMexican War, 1846-1848Literature and the warMexican War, 1846-1848Art and the warMexican War, 1846-1848Regions & Countries - AmericasHILCCUnited States - GeneralHILCCHistory & ArchaeologyHILCCElectronic books.Mexican War, 1846-1848InfluenceMexican War, 1846-1848Literature and the warMexican War, 1846-1848Art and the warMexican War, 1846-1848Regions & Countries - AmericasUnited States - GeneralHistory & Archaeology973.6/2Johannsen Robert W(Robert Walter),1925-2011,1043251PQKBBOOK9910449726503321To the halls of the Montezumas : the Mexican War in the American imagination2468114UNINA
