Excerpt from The Conquest of the Southwest: The Story of a Great Spoliation

So far as I know there is no book devoted entirely and specifically to the subject of this monograph, unless it be Jay"s Review, referred to below, which has long been out of print. We have general histories in which the subject is treated at more or less length; and special histories, as of Texas or of the Mexican War, or of Slavery, in great number; as well as many biographies of the principal actors in the transactions hereinafter described. But there is no book with which I am acquainted which begins with the Treaty of 1819 and closes with the Compromise of 1850.
