CHAPTER III
THE BATTLE of PALO ALTO.
About noon, on the 8th day of May,
1845, when the advance of the American
cavalry had reached the water-hole ol Palo
Alto, the Mexican uoops were reported in
front and were soon discovered occupying
the road in force. General Taylur ordered a
halt upon reaching the water, with a view
to rest and refresh the men and lo form de
liberately his line of battle. The Mexican
line was now plainly visible across the prai
iie, and about three-quarters of a mde dis
tant. Their left, which was composed ol
a heavy force of cavalry, occupied the road,
resting upon a thicket of cbapparral, while
masses of infantry were discovered in suc
cession to the right, greatly outnumbering
the American force.
Gen. Taylor's line of battle was now
formed in the following order : commenc
ing on the extreme right?5ih Infantry,
commanded by Lieut. Col. Mcintosh ; Maj
Ringgold's Artillery; 3d Infantry, com
manded by Captain L. N. Morris ; two 18
pounders, commanded by Lieut. Churchill,
of the 3d Artillery ; 4th Infantry, command
ed by Major G. W. Allen?the 3d and 4th
Regiments, composing the third brigade,
under command of Lieut. Col. Garland
All the above corps, together with two
squadrons of Dragoons, under Captains Ker
and May, composed the right wing, under
the orders of Colonel Twiggs. The left
-was formed by the battalion of Artillery,
commanded by Lieut. Colonel Childs, Cap
tain Duncan's LiCht Artillery, and the 8th
Infantry, under Captain Montgomery?all
forming the first brigade, under command
of Lieut. Col. Belknap. The train was
packed near the water, under directions ol
Captains Crossraan and Myers, and pro
tected by Captain Ker's squadron.
At 2 o'clock, P. M., the American army
took up the march by heads of columns in
the direction of the enemy?the 18 pounder
battery following the road. While the co
lumns were advancing, Lieut. Blake of the
Topographical Engineers, volunteered a re
connoisance of the enemy's line, which
was handsomely performed, and resulted
in the discovery of at least two battelies of
Artillery in the intervals of their cavalry
and infantry. These batteries were Foon
opened upon the Ameiican troops, when
General Taylor ordered the columns halt
ed and deployed into line, and the fire to
be returned by all his artillery. The 8ih
Infantry, on his extreme left, was thrown
back to secure that flank. The first fires of
the enemy did little execution, while the
18-pounders and Major Ringgold's artille
ry soon dispersed the cavalry which formed
his left. Captain Duncan's battery thrown
forward in advance of the line wjtfjlujpg
squadron was detached to support that bat
tery and the left of Gen. Taylor's position.
The Mexican cavalry, with two pieces of
<? artillery were now reported lo be moving
through the cbapparral on Gfn. Taylor's
light to threaten that fl:iiik or to u.ake a
demonstration against the train. The 5th
infantry was immediately detached to check
this movement, and, supported by Lieut.
Hidgeley with a section of Major Ring
gold's battery and Captain Walker's com
pany of volunteers, effectually repulsed the
enemy?the 5th Infantry repelling a charge
of lancers and the artillery doing great ex
ecution in their ranks. Tlie 3d Infantry
?was now detached to the right as a still fur
ther security lo that flank, yet threatened
by the enemy. Major Ringgold, with the
remaining section kept up his fire from an
advanced position, and was supported by
the 4th Infantry. I
The grass of the ptairie had been acci
dentally filed by the American artillery, and
the volumes of smoke partially concealed
the two armies from each other. As the
enemy's left had evidently been driven
back and the road had been left free?for
their canonuade had been suspended?Gen.
Taylor ordered forward the 18-pounders on
the road nearly to the position first occupi
ed by the Mexican cavalry, and caused the
first brigade to take up a new position slill
to the left of the 18 pounder battery. The
5th was advanced from its former position
and occupied a point on the extreme right
of the new line. The enemy had made a
corresponding change of position. After
a suspension of nearly an hour the action
-was resumed.
. The fire of the American artillery was
now most destructive?openings were con
stantly made through the enemy's ranks
by it. The constancy with which the
Mexican infantry sustained this severe can
nonade was a theme of universal remark
and admiration. Captain May's squadron
?was detached to make a demonstration on
the left of the enemy's position, and it suf
fered severely from the fire of his artillery,
to which it was for some time exposed.
The 4th Infantrv, which had been ordered
to sustain the 18-pounder battery was also
exposed to a most galling fire of the ene
my's artillery, by which several men were
killed and Capt. Page dangerously wound
ed. Th? enemy's fire was directed against
the 18 pounder battery, and the puns under
Major Ringgold in its vicinity. The Major
himself, while coolly directing the fire of
his pieces, was struck by a cannon ball and
mortally wounded.
In the mean lime the battalion of artille
rv, under Col. Childs, had been brought up
lo support the artillery on the right. A
strong demonstration of cavalry was now
made by the enemy against this part of the
Americita litre. and the column continued
to advance nttder a severe fi e from the 18
pounders- The battalion w?s instantly
formed iu square and held ready to receive
lhe charge of cavalry, but when the ad
vancing squadrons were wilhin close range,
a deadly fii? ofcanniater from the 18-pound
ers dispersed them. A brisk fire of small
anus was then opened upon the square, by
which one officer, lieutenant Luther, of the
2d aTtillery, whs slightly wounded, but a
well-directed volley from tbe front of the
square silenced all further firing from the
enemy in this quarter. It was now nearly
dark, and the action was closed on the
right of the American line, the enemy hav
ing been completely driven back from his
position and toiled in every attempt to car
ry his point.
While the above was going forward on
the right and under the eye of General
Tail lor, the enemy had made a serious at
tempt against the left of the American line.
Captain Duncan instantly perceived the
movement, and by the bold and brilliant
manoeuvring of his battery, completely re
pulsed several successive efforts of the en
emy to advance in foice upon the left flank.
Supported in succession by the 8th Infan
try anil Captain Ker's squadron of dragoons,
he gallantly held the enemy at bay, ami
finally drove him, with immense loss, from
the field. The action here and along the
whole line, continued until dark, when the
enemy retired into the chapparral in the
rear of his position. 1 h-? American army
encamped on the gronnd it occupied. Dur
ing ihe afternoon the train had been moved
forward about half a mile, and was packed
in rear of the new position.
