"Landing of the Troops at Vera Cruz"

The Mexican War was the first major American war fought primarily on foreign soil. Vera Cruz was a key seaport for Mexico, and therefore an essential target. The port was invaded in March, 1847, by an army led by General Winfield Scott. This is a chromolithograph which was produced as the frontispiece for John Frost's 1848 book "Pictorial History of Mexico and the Mexican War."
