This book examines the literature and narratives surrounding the Mexican War, providing insights into the various perspectives and content produced during and after the conflict. It likely serves as a critical analysis of how this war has been represented in literary works and the significance of those representations in understanding American history. In the essay, Lawson outlines the impact of the Mexican War on the United States, noting its territorial gains and subsequent economic developments. He evaluates numerous historical accounts, military histories, and literary works, including those by General Ripley and Colonel Benton, emphasizing their varied perspectives on both military operations and the political implications of the war. Lawson expresses disappointment in the lack of substantial literary representations, advocating for a deeper appreciation of the war's historical significance and urging future scholars to explore its literature more thoroughly. He highlights the contributions of poets like Theodore O'Hara and political satirists like James Russell Lowell, indicating an evolving narrative around this pivotal period in American history.
