In case I am driving you mad with all this Chasseur stuff, as a break how about this book from 1860?
The Mexican War, by an English Soldier: Comprising Incidents and Adventures in the United States and Mexico with the American Army.
By George Ballentine (pictured)
Have you seen Sam Chamberlains's "My Confessions"?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's true, maybe it's his tall tales of the Mexican War. Great watercolors of his adventures.
