  • Description
    UTA Special Collections presents a mini-exhibit on the Battle of Buena Vista. 178 years ago on February 22-23, 1847, U.S. troops led by General Zachary Taylor met Mexican troops led by General Santa Anna. Although neither side gained much, both nations claimed victory and used the battle as a rallying cry. Materials include first-hand accounts written by soldiers at the battle, hand drawn maps, celebratory sheet music, and newspaper articles that tell the story of the battle from both sides.
