The most readable and reliable eyewitness account of the Mier Expedition. Stapp joined the Texas forces in October 1842 and was one of the members of the Texas expedition against Mier. Stapp and his cohorts were taken prisoner in 1842, forced to march from the Rio Grande to Mexico City, and released in 1844. His narrative includes a chronology of events in Texas from 1836 to 1842, and accounts of the Dawson Massacre and the Vasquez and Woll expeditions. "This was the first book to appear on the Mier Expedition; it is still one of the best" - Jenkins.
