Seamus, Kevin - Thanks! It both amazes and saddens me that the story of the San Patricios is not better known. I found the following in a book called "The U.S. - Mexican War" by Carol & Thomas Christensen; Companion to the Public Televuision Series, Bay Books, S.F.; 1998 by KERA-TV, Ft Worth/Denton. ISBN 0-912333-44-8:@158
