Storming of Monterey : A Descriptive Military Waltz Composed and Dedicated to Genl Z. Taylor and Officers of the American Army in Mexico by Francis Buck

Sheet music for "The Storming of Monterey," with an illustrated lithograph print cover depicting American troops battling among clouds of smoke on the hillsides of the Mexican city Monterrey, based upon a sketch or derivative image of some accuracy. The lyrics refer to the efforts of General William J. Worth's Division advancing from the Saltillo Road, Texan volunteers advancing from house to house, and the desperate frontal attack of Ohio, Tennessee, and Baltimore volunteer troops and General Zachary Taylor as they battle the Mexican troops, leading to an armistice and evacuation of the city by the latter forces under General Pedro Ampudia.
