    Manuscripts

    Journal contains Pierce's accounts as a brigadier general during the Mexican-American War while marching from Veracruz to Perote, Mexico. He discusses the health of the troops, fears of yellow fever, camps, mules and transport, travel challenges, engagements with and attacks by Mexican fighters, the weather, and the current situation in Jalapa. The journal also contains Pierce's musings on war and includes the detailed orders issued by him on July 13. The first page appears to have been written in retrospect and describes the sea journey to Veracruz onboard the transport Kepler, which departed on May 27 and arrived in Mexico on June 27. Journal has been bound with the title "Franklin Pierce His Diary of the Mexican War 1847 Original Autograph Ms."
