My Diary in Mexico - In 1867, Including the Last Days of the Emperor Maximilian; With Leaves From the Diary of the Princess Salm-Salm, Etc #230161

I have seen and heard much during these last six years, as I generally accompanied my hus band in the field in the American war, and there became an eye-witness of many inte resting incidents, and acquainted with almost all the generals and other persons who played an important part in that revolutionary period. For some time I lived in New York and Washington; and, as I had to carry out certain purposes, I came in contact with all the leading politicians, and heard and observed a great deal. When I went with my husband to Mexico, chance would have it that I had to play my little part in that tragedy which was enacted there also.
