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. 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$xInfluence 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$xLiterature and the war 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$xArt and the war 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States - General$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848$xInfluence 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848$xLiterature and the war 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848$xArt and the war 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aUnited States - General 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a973.6/2 700 $aJohannsen$b Robert W$g(Robert Walter),$f1925-2011,$01043251 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449726503321 996 $aTo the halls of the Montezumas : the Mexican War in the American imagination$92468114 997 $aUNINA
