Capitain Henrie's waghalsiges und wunderbares Entkommen von den Mexicanern

Translated Title: Captain Henry's Daring and Miraculous Escape from the Mexicans

In northern Mexico before the Battle of Buena Vista a Texan referred to as "Captain Henrie" charged through the Mexican lines on a spirited Kentucky mare. He narrowly avoided capture for several days before making it back to the U.S. lines. It is possible that "Henrie" was Charles S. Hensley, a First Lieutenant of the Third Texas Mounted Volunteers since, according to the article, he was part of the "command of Major Borland." This was probably James Bourland, lieutenant colonel of the Third Texas Mounted Volunteers. See Heitman, Historical Register
