An immigrant soldier in the Mexican War / Frederick Zeh - 1st edition - USA : Texas A&M University Press , 1995 - 117 p. ; 23 cm.

Includes biographical references

Soon after emigrating from Germany to the United States, Frederick Zeh impulsively joined the army as war with Mexico loomed. His written account is the first book-length description of the Mexican War by a German-American participant—a significant contribution, given that nearly half the regular army was made up of immigrant recruits.
