The Mexican War Journal of Captain Franklin Smith

 

Captain Franklin Smith was a quartermaster in Jefferson Davis's regiment, the First Mississippi, on the Rio Grande. His seven-month tour was spent in supply duties far from the battlefield. This daily journal provides an earnest and fairly typical account of daily work, camp gossip, and anecdotes about civilian and ethnic culture. Historically useful, it also makes interesting reading for the layperson.
