Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Convention of the Veterans of the Mexican War: Held in the City of Washington, January 15, 16 and 17, 1874; Containing List of Delegates, Memorial to Congress for a Pension to Survivors, and an Account of the Organization of the National Association of Veterans of the Mexican War, With List of Officer On the 20th of February, 1873, in response to a call for a meeting of Mexican Veterans at the Dickson House, in Washington, D. C., to consider the propriety of joining as a body in the inaugural ceremonies of President Grant, on the ensuing 4th of March, about, twenty persons assembled; and after agreeing to the proposition for which they had met, Mr. A. M. Kenaday, resident agent in Washington of the San Francisco Associated Veterans of the Mexican War, called attention of those present to the fact that the Scott Legion of Pittsburgh, Pa., had forwarded a petition to Congress for a pension to the survivors of the Mexican War, which had been presented by General Negley, representative from that district. Mr. Kenaday moved that a committee on organization be appointed to prepare a plan of action to cooperate in the Pittsburg project, which was adopted, and the mover of the resolution was made chairman of the committee. On the 10th of April an address was made by the chairman to the resident survivors of the Mexican War, appealing to their patriotic impulses to unite in an association, and combine their efforts to promote the welfare of their old comrades, which resulted in the organization of the "Associated Veterans of 1846" of this city, by electing, on the 1st of May, the following officers: President, General J. W. Denver: Vice-Presidents, Major F. T. Lally, General D. H. Cooper; Corresponding Secretary, A. M. Kenaday; Recording Secretary, J. R. McNeir; Treasurer, Colonel P. H. Allabach; Marshal, Major H. A White, and the following gentlemen as Trustees: Hon. J. J. Martin, General Albert Pike and Captain S. N. Hoyt. At the next meeting, on the 15th of May, Secretary Kenaday offered the following resolution, which passed unanimously: Resolved, That an invitation is hereby extended by this association to the veterans of the Mexican war throughout the country, now organized or hereafter to be enrolled in associations, to send two or more delegates, in person or by proxy, to a national convention to be held in Washington City on January 15, 1874, to prepare a joint memorial to congress for a pension to the survivors of the Mexican war, at the same rate allowed by the act of February 14, 1871, granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1812; also, to adopt measures looking to a National Brotherhood of the survivors, and a general assemblage on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the nation's birthday, at Philadelphia, July 4, 1876. The Corresponding Secretary was instructed to communicate the subject to the then existing organizations, and take all proper measures to spread the information widely. Through the liberality of the public press, the merits of the proposition were discussed far and wide, and almost immediately organizations began to spring into being under the call. In the South and West the movement was very popular, and State reunions were held in many of the States to elect delegates. The correspondence received by the Washington Association was published in the proceedings of their meetings, and slips were printed regularly, containing those proceedings and sent by mail to all parts of the Union. It became evident to all that the Convention would be a success, and on November loth the association appointed a committee, consisting of General J. W. Denver, chairman; General Albert Pike, Hon. J. J. Martin, J. I. McCarty, and Alexander M. Kenaday; Corresponding Secretary, to make all arrangements necessary. Colonel P. B. Allabach, Major F. T. Lally, Captain S. N. Hoyt, Judge H. R. Crosby, Colonel J. C. Kretschmar, and many other mem

Martial experiences and the mythologies that surround them have profoundly affected the ways in which Americans think of themselves. Wars identify the heroes who help define national character, provide the stories for the grand narratives of belonging and sacrifice, and serve as markers for essential moments of transformation. However, only in the last several years have scholars begun using the term “cultural history of American warfare” to identify the study of how public discourse formulates these defining myths and narratives. This volume brings together scholarship from diverse fields in a common mission to demonstrate the usefulness and significance of studying the cultural history of American warfare. The Martial Imagination: Cultural Aspects of American Warfare canvasses the American war experience from the Revolution to the War on Terror, examining how it infuses legitimacy and conformity with an urgency that contorts ideas of citizenship, nationhood, gender, and other pliable categories. The multidisciplinary scholarship in this volume represents the varied perspectives of cultural history, American studies, literary criticism, war and society, media studies, and public culture analysis, illustrating the rich dialogues that epitomize the cultural history of American warfare. Bringing together both recognized and emerging scholars, this book is the first anthology to feature essays on this topic, comprising research from twelve authors who represent a wide range of experiences and disciplines. Their work uncovers new and surprising understandings of the American war experience that reveal the ways in which culture makers have grappled with the trauma of war, salvaged meaning from the meaningless, or advanced some ulterior agenda.

This user-friendly encyclopedia comprises a wide array of accessible yet detailed entries that address the military, social, political, cultural, and economic aspects of the Mexican-American War. The Encyclopedia of the Mexican-American War: A Political, Social, and Military History provides an in-depth examination of not only the military conflict itself, but also the impact of the war on both nations; and how this conflict was the first waged by Americans on foreign soil and served to establish critical U.S. military, political, and foreign policy precedents. The entries analyze the Mexican-American War from both the American and Mexican perspectives, in equal measure. In addition to discussing the various campaigns, battles, weapons systems, and other aspects of military history, the three-volume work also contextualizes the conflict within its social, cultural, political, and economic milieu, and places the Mexican-American War into its proper historical and historiographical contexts by covering the eras both before and after the war. This information is particularly critical for students of American history because the conflict fomented sectional conflict in the United States, which resulted in the U.S. Civil War.
