The Evolution of the Myth: As Exemplified in General Grant's History of the Plot of President Polk and Secretary Marcy to Sacrifice Two American Armies in the Mexican War of 1846-1848 is a book written by John D. McPherson in 1890. The book explores the evolution of a myth surrounding the Mexican War of 1846-1848, as exemplified in General Grant's history of the alleged plot by President Polk and Secretary Marcy to sacrifice two American armies in the war.McPherson examines the origins of the myth, tracing it back to Grant's own experiences in the war and his subsequent writings about it. He then analyzes how the myth was perpetuated and transformed over time, becoming a powerful narrative that shaped public perceptions of the war and its causes.Throughout the book, McPherson provides a detailed and nuanced account of the Mexican War and the political context in which it was fought. He also delves into the broader themes of nationalism, imperialism, and the role of history in shaping national identity.Overall, The Evolution of the Myth is a fascinating exploration of the power of myth and its ability to shape historical narratives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, the Mexican War, or the evolution of national myths and identities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
