"One need not be schooled in military history or archaeology to benefit from this research, for the authors do an excellent job of maintaining the interest of [both] the scholarly reader and anyone new to these subjects." - Journal of the West "I would highly recommend this volume for people interested in the history of the Mexican War and Manifest Destiny, period military equipment, and the archaeological study of historical events, such as battles, which could be interpreted from an anthropological perspective." - North American Archaeologist"
