Doniphan's Epic March: The 1st Missouri Volunteers in the Mexican War chronicles the remarkable journey of a volunteer force that overcame staggering odds, hostile forces, and brutal landscapes to achieve one of the most celebrated feats of American military history. Dawson presents a meticulously researched account of leadership, endurance, and frontier soldiering, drawing on primary sources to reconstruct the campaign's pivotal battles and gruelling day-to-day realities.\n\nPart of the prestigious Modern War Studies series from the University Press of Kansas, this work situates Doniphan's campaign within the broader political and military context of Manifest Destiny and American expansionism. Dawson's narrative is authoritative yet compelling, illuminating the motivations of citizen-soldiers and the improvised genius of their commander with equal precision. For students of military history and American westward expansion alike, this account raises a question that lingers long after the final page: how did an untested regiment of Missouri volunteers accomplish what professional armies could not?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130664558811,"sku":"2026200010202-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/71790fb9-edd6-4d2a-b77e-60a7fefc47c1.png?v=1786588166","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010202-secondhand-doniphans-epic-march-the-1st-missouri-volunteers-in-the-mexican-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
