1846 Brilliant Capt Charge Palm Palma Ravine Resaca

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates the heroic charge led by Captain John S. May during the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, which took place on May 9, 1846. The battle was a significant engagement in the Mexican-American War, fought in the palm ravine of Resaca de la Palma in present-day Mexico. Captain May, commanding the 4th U.S. Dragoons, led his troops in a daring and decisive charge against the Mexican forces, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the United States. The brilliant charge, as depicted in this print, showcases the courage and determination of Captain May and his men, charging forward with their sabers drawn and their eyes fixed on the enemy lines. The background of the print reveals the chaotic scene of the battlefield, with smoke rising from the guns and the sounds of clashing steel and shouts of soldiers filling the air. The palm trees in the foreground add a sense of exoticism to the scene, highlighting the unfamiliar terrain of the battlefield. The print is a testament to the bravery and skill of Captain May and his men during the Battle of Resaca de la Palma. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this pivotal moment in American history and the importance of their contributions to the eventual outcome of the Mexican-American War.
