Excerpt from With the National Guard on the Border: Our National Military Problem
The purpose of this book is to give a brief historical sketch of Mexico, one which will serve as a background for the past six years of turbulence; to give a resume of the most important events of these six years and to consider our future policy towards Mexico, involving the desirability or undesirability of intervention; to review the Quasi-Mexican campaign of 1916 from the standpoint of the National Guard and the influences, good and evil, which the President's Call to Arms had upon it.
