The Mexican war-the battle of Palo Alto-the battle of Resaca de la Palma-Army of invasion- General Taylor-movement on Camargo
While General Taylor was away with the bulk of his army, the little garrison up the river was besieged [May 3]. As we ol their own destiny.
Reinforcements having arrived, in the month of August the movement commenced from Matamoras to Camargo, the head of navigation on the Rio Grande.
The line of the Rio Grande was all that was necessary to hold, unless it was he troops, with the exception of the artillery, cavalry, and the brigade to which I belonged, were moved up the river to Camargo on steamers.
As there were but two or three of these, the boats had to make a number of trips before the last of the tr y for Northern men. The order of marching was changed and night marches were substituted with the best results.
When Camargo was reached, we found a city of tents outside the Mexican hamlet.

Advance on Monterey-the Black Fort-the battle of Monterey-surrender of the City
The advance from Camargo was commenced on the 5th of September.
The army was divided into four columns, separated from each other by one day's march.
The advance reached Cerralvo in four days and halted for the remainder of the troops to come up. By the 13th the rear-guard had arrived, and the same day the advance resumed its march, followed as before, a day separating the divisions.
The forward division halted again at Marin, twenty-four miles from Monterey.
Both this place and Cerralvo were nearly deserted, and men, women and children were seen running and scattered over the hills as we approached; but when the people returned they found all their abandoned property safe, which must have given them a favorable opinion of Los Grengos-the Yankees.
From Marin the movement was in mass.
On the 19th General Taylor, with his army, was encamped at Walnut Springs, within three miles of Monterey.
