This battle in north-eastern Mexico pitted a large Mexican force under General Santa Ana against a much smaller force of U.S. Volunteers led by Gen. Zachary. Although hard pressed, Taylor’s troops held their ground, until Mexican troops were forced to withdraw due to lack of provisions. Although both sides claimed victory, American morale was greatly bolstered  by their defense in holding on and remaining in possession of the battlefield. One prominent American casualty in this fight was Colonel Henry Clay Jr, son of Kentucky Senator and oft-time Presidential candidate, Henry Clay, who had ironically enough, opposed the war.

An attractive Mexican War collectible by lithographer Nathaniel Currier who in 1857 with James Ives would form the famed and influential 19th century Currier & Ives lithography firm.  [JP] [ph:L]
