Note F — LONGSTREET ON THE FIELDS OF MEXICOF

Several years ago General Longstreet hastily prepared in the rough quite an elaborate history of the Mexican War, the publication of which was forestalled by the book of a brother officer in that war, of which he had no hint. The incidents and historical data of this short story are from that unpublished history, with the addition of General Longstreet’s comments on the official personnel of the armies of Taylor and Scott, and their subsequent careers in the Union and Confederate armies.
