    This collection consists of letters sent by Zachary Taylor while serving in the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848, primarily to his brother-in-law, U.S. Army surgeon Robert Crooke Wood (1800?-1869). Letters concern war logistics and strategies; army life; troops movements and health; supplies; General Winfield Scott; the progress of and future projections of the war; and some reportage of battles, especially of the battle of Monterrey in September 1846. Letters also discuss Taylor's presidential prospects and potential nomination in the 1848 race; politics; health; and family, particularly his daughter Ann and her children. All items are autograph letters signed unless noted otherwise.
