Notes of the Mexican War: Battle of Las Vegas and La Hoya Pass, June 20, 1847

A print of the Battle of Las Vegas and La Joya Pass on June 20, 1847. This print shows a line of American soldiers (denoted by the American flag) at the foot of a hill where combat rages in a cloud of smoke. Oswandel writes about Captain Walker and his mounted troops arriving on the scene and providing support to Colonel Wynkoop and his men at La Hoya Pass where the battle commenced. [This lithograph is from the book "Notes of the Mexican War 1846-47-48, Revised 1885, Illustrated" by J. Jacob Oswandel, page 189.]
