Summary

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1920, The War with Mexico by Justin H. Smith stands as the definitive account of one of the most transformative—and controversial—conflicts in American history. First published in 1919, Smith’s sweeping narrative explores the full scope of the Mexican-American War, from its tangled diplomatic origins to the hard-fought campaigns that redrew the map of North America. Drawing from rare documents and eyewitness sources on both sides of the border, Smith provides a compelling, balanced account of a war often overshadowed by the Civil War that followed.     Smith weaves together military detail, political context, and cultural insight to illuminate how the war shaped U.S. expansion, Mexican nationalism, and the future of the American West. His vivid prose brings key figures to life—Zachary Taylor, Winfield Scott, Santa Anna—while never losing sight of the broader forces at play: manifest destiny, national honor, and the cost of imperial ambition. Through this lens, The War with Mexico becomes more than a history of battles; it is a vital study of how nations justify war and how those wars reverberate through generations.     Republished by Classicus, this enduring work remains essential reading for students of American history, military strategy, and 19th-century diplomacy. With its rare combination of scholarly rigor and narrative flair, The War with Mexico continues to offer insight, challenge assumptions, and deepen our understanding of the past.

    The Pasagoula River is the largest unobstructed river in the continuous United States. Because of this lack of restraint, the river has been left to rise and fall naturally with the seasons, overflowing annually into the adjoining bottomland surrounded by some of the most ecologically diverse woodlands, in North America. 
 
 
 
Herman Murrah (1935-2022) lived his entire life on the banks and in the swamp surrounding this river in southeast Mississippi. In this book, Herman's eldest son, Davy, details the adventures that continue to inspire young conservationists in the fight to protect our remaining natural ecosystems. 
 
 
 
As a young adult, Herman worked as a game warden in the Pascagoula River Swamp. When the Pascagoula Hardwood Company, then owners of the swamp, decided to sell the vast tract of forest for clearcutting, Herman was incensed. Determined to protect this natural wonder, Herman teamed up with other visionaries to persuade the State of Mississippi to purchase the land and preserve it in perpetuity. Herman was appointed area manager for the upper portion of the newly designated Pascagoula River Wildlife Management Area. He dedicated the remainder of his life to preserving, protecting, and improving the swamp for the good of south Mississippi.
