Panting For Glory - Richard Bruce Winders - Bog

The "Mississippi Rifles", so called because they were the first volunteer force in American history to have been issued rifles rather than smoothbore muskets, served in the war against Mexico that followed the annexation of Texas in 1845. In this volume, Richard Bruce Winders skilfully uncovers the contrasting wartime experience of two regiments, the 1st and 2ndMississippi Rifles.
