The Conquest of New Mexico and California is a historical and personal narrative written by P. St. George Cooke in 1878. The book describes the conquest of the American Southwest by the United States Army in the mid-19th century, with a focus on the campaigns in New Mexico and California. Cooke, a retired brigadier general, was a participant in these campaigns and provides a firsthand account of the events. He describes the battles, the strategies used by both sides, and the political and social context of the time. The book also includes personal anecdotes and observations from Cooke's time in the Southwest. He discusses the landscape, the people, and the cultures he encountered during his military service. Overall, The Conquest of New Mexico and California is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the American expansion into the Southwest and the experiences of those involved in the campaigns.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
