If you're watching this, you probably love history like I do. I tried not to include too much information and details, but I couldn't! Unfortunately, I think this is a hidden and under-recognized battle in Mexico. The actions of both sides were extraordinary and deserve recognition. History usually paints the Mexican Army's performance in a negative light, and I hope this video shows that the Mexicans were a tough opponent for the U.S. Army.

I hope you like the video, and it's all done with my Pocho accent :)

P.S. Try watching it in 720p so you can clearly see the commanders' names.
