Synopsis
Excerpt from Heroes and Incidents of the Mexican War
As many of my friends who read this book, will think it strange that a native of Westmoreland county, Penn'a., should figure as a member of the Missouri Volunteers, I wish to Say, by way of ex planation, that I was born near Latrobe, in 1822. I learned the carpenter trade in Uniontown, Fayette county, and in 1844 I went to Lexington, Lafayette county, Missouri, where I followed my trade up to the time of my enlistment, on the sixth day of June, 1846, at which time I became a member of Company B., First Missouri Cavalry, Captain Wil liam Walton, in the regiment commanded by Colo nel Doniphan, and a part of The Army of the West, under General Kearney. After being mus tered out of service I returned to my home, near Latrobe, Westmoreland county, this state, where I have since resided.
