Does anyone know of an expert on the Mexican American War? Most probably a professor at one of the Universities who teaches American History., or Military History. I have most of the basics for the research, I just need an expert who would know how to find an individual soldier and in which battles he fought, Thanks for any info. quenci Scott [email protected] ,
Do a GOOGLE search for the Mexican War site online. There is a book too who lists the soldiers. marilyn ________________________________ From: Quenci Scott <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 6:27 AM Subject: [NORCAL] Researchers for Mexican American War 1846-48 Does anyone know of an expert on the Mexican American War?

I have tried to find more info on a great uncle who joined from Alabama..Found a wee bit on his military record, from the National Archives,but more for the Civil War. Keep me posted if you find a good source. Seems there is a group you can join perhaps to learn more.

Hi Marilyn, In the back of Volume II of "History of the Mexican War" by General Cadmus M. Wilcox, The Church News Publishing Company, Washington, D.C., © 1892, contains an index of the officers of all U.S. Military Units that participated in the war. Pages 653 & 654 lists all the officers in the Volunteer Units from Alabama. If your ancestor was not an officer it will be much more difficult to find out information. Aside from finding a listing of all the members of the New York Volunteers, I have not found any other source for lists of enlisted soldiers and sailors who participated in the Mexican War. Hope this helps, Anita C.
