Abstract
The Mexican War letters of Captain George W. Clutter of the Monongalia "Mountain Boys" attached to the U.S. 13th Regiment, Company B. The letters contain information about recruitment and deployment of his unit. He describes in detail the land and customs of Mexico, particularly the territory between Vera Cruz and Mexico City. His expressed opinions are indicative of expansionist attitudes then prevalent among Americans.
