Description
Excerpt from Journal of the Texian Expedition Against Mier: Subsequent Imprisonment of the Author; His Sufferings, and Final Escape From the Castle of Perote; With Reflections Upon the Present Political and Probable Future Relations of Texas, Mexico and the United States
If the author has been unjust to Mexico, it is in failing to detail more at length her vices; and for fear that a too charitable community would ascribe to him personal vin dictiveness, and then more charitably-balance that account with his ill treatment and sufferings, he has forborne in many particulars to say what, perhaps, he should have said.
He will assert, that what he has said of the general deg radation of that nation, of the wretched want and misery of the million, is far short of the whole truth, as a very late writer upon that country will bear witness; and what he has particularized no one will question.
