The Benevolent Raid of General Lew Wallace: How Mexico Was Saved in 1864 is a historical book written by Amherst Willoughby Barber in 1914. The book tells the story of General Lew Wallace, an American soldier who led a raid into Mexico during the French intervention in Mexico in 1864. Wallace's mission was to rescue a group of American prisoners of war who were being held captive by the French forces. The book describes the political and military situation in Mexico at the time, including the involvement of the French army and the struggle of the Mexican government to maintain its independence. It also details the planning and execution of Wallace's raid, which involved a small force of American soldiers and Mexican guerrillas. The raid was successful in freeing the American prisoners, and it also disrupted the French army's operations in the region. The book highlights the bravery and resourcefulness of Wallace and his men, and it emphasizes the importance of their actions in preserving Mexico's sovereignty. Overall, The Benevolent Raid of General Lew Wallace is a fascinating account of a little-known episode in American and Mexican history. It provides a unique perspective on the French intervention in Mexico and the role of American soldiers in that conflict.The Monroe Doctrine In Action.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
