[Reading line] The first book on the Thornton Affair¿a pivotal moment in the Mexican-American War and in the shaping of the U.S. and Mexico. [description/blurbs] In April 1846, tensions between the U.S. and Mexico along the disputed border were high. About half of the U.S. Army, then tiny, was camped outside of Matamoros, Mexico, and rumors were flying that the much larger Mexican army was about to undertake efforts to drive the U.S. troops from the disputed territory. Captain Seth B. Thornton led a reconnaissance of the 2nd Dragoons to try to confirm those rumors and gain intelligence about the enemy's plans. He rode his command¿which included almost thirty percent of the Army¿s mounted troops¿straight into an ambush and lost his entire force. His ill luck both exposed the intentions of the Mexican army and escalated the events that would become known as the Mexican-American War.
