Kearny was a noble officer whose early death in the Mexican campaign prevented his writing about the California campaign. Valentine Motf the historical Society of Southern California, vol. VIII (1911) and A diary of the March with Kearny, Fort Leavenworth to Santa Fe; (1846) by G. R. Gibson gives details concerning that part of the e conquest of New Mexico and California (1878) and Scenes and adventures in army life (1857).
