Translated Title: Capture of Captain May's Rearguard
The article and illustration refer to an incident in January 1847 when Captain Charles A. May and a detachment of U.S. Dragoons were attacked while on reconaissance duty for General Taylor in the mountain passes around Montemorelos and Linares. Seven men of Captain May's rearguard were captured in the ambush. This is a less-reported incident: Captain May was most often portrayed leading a charge at the Battle of Resaca de la Palma on May 9, 1846.
