This three-volume set for general readers and students in high school and up consists of 800 entries and 146 primary source documents, revealing both American and Mexican perspectives of the war. From Abolitionism to Zacatecas, the alphabetical entries in Volumes 1 and 2 cover people, events, and places of the war, along with ships and battalions, military and other organizations, battles, and treaties; also covered are political developments, social movements, literature, and the arts of the period. These volumes include b&w historical illustrations and contemporary battle maps on most pages, plus tables of facts and statistics. Volume 3 (not illustrated) compiles 46 documents from many primary sources, such as letters, treaties, legislation, military orders, speeches, diaries and memoirs, songs, and war reporters' dispatches. Each document includes a brief overview offering background on the author, the document, and its importance in the war. This volume also includes appendices of medals and decorations, military honors, and military ranks, plus a glossary and a detailed chronology.
