pp. vi, 438. Some light foxing. 12mo. 205mm. Contemporary full leather binding, cracked at joints. Front board fragile. A nice example. Sarah Tuke Grubb (1756-1790) was born at York, England and traveled throughout England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and France as a minister of the Society of Friends. This account of her life and travel with extracts from her writings is extremely informative.

These particular accounts were addressed to a friend in America who was interested in founding similar institutions there. First published in Dublin in 1792. This Second Edition, served as a model for the first American edition (Trenton: 1795). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA 60 L Stk

GUARDINO PETER
The Dead March: A History Of The Mexican - American War
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. By focusing on the experiences of ordinary Mexicans and Americans The Dead March offers a clearer historical picture than we have ever had of the brief bloody war that redrew the map of North America. Peter Guardino invites skepticism about the received view that the United States emerged victorious in the Mexican-American War 1846-1848 because its democratic system was more stable and its citizens more loyal. In fact heading into the war American forces dramatically underestimated the strength of Mexicans' patriotism and failed to see how bitterly Mexicans resented America's claims to national and racial superiority. Having regarded the United States as a sister republic Mexicans were shocked by the scope of America's expansionist ambitions and their fierce resistance surprised U.S. political and military leaders who had expected a quick victory with few casualties. As the fighting intensified over the course of two years it claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and at least twice as many Mexicans including many civilians. As stark as they were the misconceptions that the Mexican-American War laid bare on both sides did not determine the final victor. What differentiated the two countries in battle was not some notion of American unity and loyalty to democracy but the United States' huge advantages in economic power and wealth�advantages its poorer Latin American neighbor could not hope to overcome. 512 pages 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches 11 halftones 13 maps. Peter Guardino is Professor in the Department of History at Indiana University. "Like so much of the best recent scholarship The Dead March incorporates the work of Mexican historians and anthropologists in a story that involves far more than military strategy diplomatic maneuvering and American political intrigue. At its core The Dead March is a social and cultural history of the Mexican and American armies and the societies that produced them particularly their assumptions about race masculinity and religion� A book studded with arresting insights and convincing observations." �James Oakes The New York Review of Books "The history of a war of expansion and empire that reverberates today in talk of border walls and deportation. Viewed through a retrospective lens the American invasion of Mexico in 1846 an act of single-sided aggression has eerie parallels with later incursions in Vietnam and Iraq. For one thing all were adventures that enjoyed public support at first but that lost backing as time wore on. It was also precipitated writes Guardino in this vigorous readable account by an American president who 'had to hide crucial information and engage in intense partisan maneuvering to start the war.'� In a narrative that blends set-piece accounts of battle profiles of individual combatants and wide-ranging explorations of larger issues Guardino examines the inevitability of American victory which proved Pyrrhic. Some of our received wisdom about the conflict he argues does not hold up� The Mexican-American War is too little studied today. Guardino's swift-moving broad-ranging history is a welcome remedy."�Kirkus Reviews "The U.S. war with Mexico 1846-48 an often overlooked part of American history had a huge impact on the development of both countries. Guardino presents the story of the war through the eyes of common soldiers in Mexican and American armies� Guardino presents a balanced and deeper understanding of the war challenging readers to determine why and how America triumphed and the long-term ramifications for both countries."�Michael C. Miller Library Journal "By examining the motivations and viewpoints of fighters on both sides Guardino presents a balanced and deeper understanding of the war challenging readers to determine why and how America triumphed and the long-term ramifications for both countries� Extremely well-researched and highly readable."�Publishers Weekly "Guardino breaks new ground and offers novel information about the day-to-day reality of the war. By featuring the lived experience of the soldiers and ordinary people who took part in the conflagration Guardino gives us a more realistic view of Mexico and the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century correcting widely held but ultimately unwarranted assumptions about vast political and military discrepancies between the two nations. In short this book constitutes the most insightful and balanced treatment of the war that I know of."�Andrs Resndez author of The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story of Indian Enslavement in America "The Dead March builds a wonderful sustained case for the deep similarities between the two countries their struggles and the circumstances of their fighting men. The material on both armies is superb. We are given marvelously lucid textured and probing explanations for why and how men came to serve in these armies; how they were viewed by their countrymen and women; what they experienced on march and in camp. The narrative of particular battles and confrontations is engrossing and illuminating. And the military history is surrounded by smart compelling analytic sections on a host of important topics. This book sets the new standard for histories of the war that cost Mexico half its national territory."�Brian DeLay author of War of a Thousand Deserts: Indian Raids and the U.S.-Mexican War Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2017 hardcover
