The Mexican War has faded from our national memory, but it was a struggle of enormous significance: it was the first U.S. war waged on foreign soil; and it nearly doubled our nation's land area. At this fascinating juncture of American history, a group of young men came together to fight as friends, only years later to fight as enemies. This is their story.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.62 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.62 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList
