Gracias. I don't believe I've ever read the English version. Quite different.

We should also remember Los San Patricios, the Irish who fought with the Mexicans against the invaders.

Weird fact: My family had participants on both sides in that conflict: General Nicolás Bravo, then-Lieutenant Robert E. Lee, and General Zachary Taylor.
