BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, AUG. 24, 1900 INDIANA IN THE MEXICAN WAR. COMPILED BY REQUEST BY JAMES C. CARLTON. To the Editor of the MAIL: - Dear Sir Many inquires having been made of me within the past few years concerning the Mexican War, and especially about the part taken therein by Lawrence county men, I have, by your indulgence, concluded to present in the columns of the Mail, for the edification of the descendants and friends of that little band of soldiers who volunteered over a half a century ago and went forth to uphold the flag of their country, and to conquer a peace with the Mexican – who had invade American soil in the State of Texas – a full roster of the one company and parts of other companies furnished by Lawrence county, together with a full list of the field officers, of all the regiments of Indiana. These facts I have obtained from the Adjutant General's office at Indianapolis as to the Volunteers and from the War Department at Washington as to the Regulars – a portion of the 16th U. S. Infantry having been recruited in this county by Dr. Ralph G. NORVELL, then living at Springville.
