The first in a series of three books detailing the role of Michigan soldiers and sailors in the War with Mexico 1846-1848. This book covers the saga of Company K of the 3rd Dragoons and their role in the invasion of central Mexico in 1847. They were recruited from all over southeast Michigan by Captain Andrew T. McReynolds, particularly Wayne and Lenawee Counties. These dragoons performed convoy protection and served for most of their time in Mexico, as General Scott's Bodyguard. They participated in the battle at the National Bridge, the Battle of Contreras, the Battle of Churubusco and the Battle of Molino del Rey. After the capture of Mexico City, they performed anti-guerilla operations all over central Mexico. At the end of their tour of duty in Mexico, only a small number made it back to Michigan. All of the officers from Michigan had been sent home wounded or debilitated by disease. Now the story of their hardships and sacrifice will be told, as often as possible, by the soldiers themselves, and the soldiers who served alongside them.
