EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and determination of the second engagement of the Mexican-American War, which took place on May 9, 1846, near the Resaca de la Palma in Mexico. The Americans, driven by their military leaders to take control of the strongly-held Mexican position, are depicted here as they prepare to charge. At the forefront of the advance are the dragoons, led by the fearless Captain May. Their horses are reared up, ready to pounce on the enemy lines. The dragoons were a versatile cavalry unit, adept at both mounted combat and dismounted infantry fighting. Their long sabers were ideal for close-quarter battles, making them a formidable force on the battlefield. The Mexican position, hidden from view, would have been well fortified and prepared for the American assault. The terrain, with its rough and uneven ground, would have added to the challenge for both sides. The second engagement of the Mexican-American War was a pivotal moment in the conflict, with the Americans ultimately emerging victorious. This victory helped to secure control of the region and set the stage for the eventual Mexican surrender. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and tenacity displayed by the soldiers on both sides during this period of American history. It is a testament to the sacrifices made by the men who fought in this war and the significant impact it had on the future of the United States.
