A classic adventure story, covering one man's lively experience during and after the Mexican War of 1846-48. Famous as an inspiration for Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and has the first mention of Judge Holden anywhere. This work tells the uniquely American story of a young man fighting, romancing, and drinking his way across the old West. From the "cold and drear" winter day that Chamberlain left his home in Boston, to volunteering as a Dragoon in Mexico, and eventually scalp-hunting in the desert, Chamberlain never missed a battle, fandango, or opportunity for danger. This memoir spares no detail of his time on campaign, offering an expansive account of the Mexican War, the men who fought it, and the true wildness of the contemporary West. Includes dozens of Chamberlain's illustrations and watercolors, offering a fascinating glimpse into 1840s America through the eyes of a true swashbuckler and soldier. Seller Inventory # 91423(27)
