1847 Buena Charge Complete Defeat Gallant Mexicans Vista

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the Gallant Charge of the Kentuckians at the Battle of Buena Vista on February 23, 1847. The Mexican-American War was in full swing, and the Battle of Buena Vista, fought near the city of Buena Vista in Mexico, was a pivotal moment in the conflict. The Mexicans, led by General Antonio López de Santa Anna, had initially driven the American forces back, but the tide turned when General Zachary Taylor ordered a counterattack. The Kentuckians, a regiment of volunteers from the Bluegrass State, were among the soldiers who charged forward with great bravery and determination. The Mexicans, taken by surprise, were quickly overwhelmed, leading to a complete defeat and the end of the battle. The print captures the intensity and chaos of the moment, with horses and men charging forward, swords raised, and the dust and smoke of battle swirling around them. The Mexicans, who had initially outnumbered the Americans, were forced to retreat in disarray. The victory at Buena Vista was a significant morale boost for the American forces and helped turn the tide of the war in their favor. The print serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the Kentuckians and the American forces as a whole during this important moment in American military history.
