Tom Roush; This is one of the few songs that was written about the Mexican-American War that was fought between 1846 and 1848. Most Americans know little and choose to ignore this conflict but I assure you that the people of Mexico remember it. The song was composed by John Hewitt who would write many songs of the Confederacy in the American Civil War.
