OverviewFew historical figures are as inextricably linked as Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.

They were not alone: Sherman, Davis, Jackson - nearly all of the Civil War's greatest soldiers had been forged in the heat of Vera Cruz and Monterrey. The Mexican War has faded from our national memory, but it was a struggle of enormous significance: the first U.S. war waged on foreign soil; and it nearly doubled our nation.
