@dejlige-dage Of course!

This is gonna be a bit long, but here goes, I’m writing a paper based on a book of my choice, and since I happen to be really interested in the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848, with a specific interest in the Saint Patrick’s Battalion that fought for the Mexican army, here are some highlights:

Since this is about a war, I will put some warnings

Trigger Warning:

War brutality

Body mutilation

I mention the Potato Famine (1845), and how many Irish people migrated to the U.S.

Further migration to the west and the south of the country, this also happens to take place during Manifest Destiny, there was also an event of the Bible Riots in 1844 where they burned down a catholic convent in Boston.

1846, after Texas is annexed into the U.S. in 1845, Mexico denies such annexation due to the conflicts in such territory in the 1830s, and thus war starts.

Many of the Irish immigrants immediately upon arrival to the U.S. enlist in the army with the promise of a good pay and land. Tensions arise amongst the soldiers between Catholics and Protestants.

According to the Smithsonian article I’m using, about 40% of the U.S. army consisted of immigrants when they entered the war.

Upon serious mistreatment from the U.S. army due to xenophobia and anti-Catholic sentiments, many of the soldiers of immigrant backgrounds (this consisted of Irish, Polish, Germans, Italians, etc.) fled or deserted, among them John Riley.

These men joined the Mexican Army, which, by the words of Santa Anna “The Mexican nation only looks upon you as some deceived foreigners, and hereby stretch out to you a friendly hand, offer you the felicity and fertility of their territory.”

Thus those who had left the U.S. army formed the Saint Patrick’s Battalion, made up of Infantry and Artillery soldiers, complete with their own banner (it’ll be at the bottom of the post), In the article by Jaime Fogarty, he mentions the banner: The group’s banner displayed an Irish harp surrounded by the Mexican coat-of-armswith a scroll reading, “Freedom for the Mexican Republic,” and underneath the harp was the motto in Gaelic “Erin go Brágh” (Ireland for Ever). On the other side of the banner Saint Patrick was depicted holding a pastoral staff resting on a serpent. A U.S. soldier described it as “a beautiful green silk banner [that] waved over their heads; on it glittered a silver cross and a golden harp, embroidered by the hands of the fair nuns of San Luis Potosí.

John Riley, mentioned before, was given the rank of Brevet Major in the Saint Patrick’s.

They fought in a series of battles important in the Mexican-American War:

Battle of Monterrey (September 21–24, 1846) such battle happened within the city walls, with Texas rangers sent by William J. Worth, according to Mexican chroniclers, the rangers upon Worth’s orders would open fire on civilians, ransack homes, and took part in looting. The battle ended with the Mexican army to leave the city after negotiations, thus allowing for the U.S. army to take a hold of it. This battle earned the Saint Patrick’s a reputation of holding their ground. Many soldiers of the U.S. Army deserted and joined the Mexican ranks after this battle.

Battle of Buena Vista or La Angostura (February 22–23, 1847), this was a battle with an ambiguous ending, both sides claiming victory, notably one of the fiercest known fights of the Saint Patrick’s, “Two six-pounder cannon of the U.S. Fourth Artillery were captured by the enemy due to intense fire from the San Patricio cannoneers, aided by support troops.” Several Irishmen were granted the War Cross from the Mexican Army and promoted in rank.

A small break here noting that after La Angostura, Winfield Scott’s troops reach Mexico through sea, landing in Veracruz in order to advance to Mexico City.

Battle of Cerro Gordo (April 1847), after being sent from San Luis Potosi to Xalapa (Jalapa), the Saint Patrick’s had re-organized and were now officially called The Foreign Legion of Saint Patrick. John Riley and Santiago O’Leary were made captains of the First and Second Companies, and Francisco Moreno was made colonel and commander of the legion. Despite the efforts, this battle also resulted in an American victory.

Battle of Churubusco (August 20, 1847), final battle of the battalion, the Saint Patrick’s and another battalion, Los Bravos were on the parapets of the convent of Churubusco. They were outnumbered, resulting in total defeat, and an estimate of 75 -85 of the men in the battalion captured and others escaped. In Fogarty’s article, according to Dr. Michael Hogan in his own book The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, “Captain Patrick Dalton of the San Patricios tore the white flag down, and General Pedro Anaya ordered his men to fight on with their bare hands if necessary”. To continue in the aftermath, “ 35 San Patricios were killed in action, O’Leary and O’Reilly were wounded and Francis O’Connor lost both legs as a result of his heroic stand against the invaders”

What happened to the others was that they were put on trial for desertion, those before the war was declared were whipped and branded, and those who deserted after were sentenced to the gallows. Those that were only whipped and branded were forced to dig their comrade's graves. Even Francis O’Connor, who as mentioned, had lost his legs, was dragged from the hospital and was put to the gallows, Patrick Dalton, who had ripped off the flag of surrender, estimated to be 20-22 years of age, did not have a quick death.

These actions, had of course, outraged and angered the Mexican population, condemning the Americans and the U.S. army, stating these were acts of barbarity. Oddly enough, despite the horrendous acts of the executions, more deserted the U.S. army.

While this battalion isn’t exactly commemorated outside of Mexico, there is a ceremony that celebrates their participation in the Mexican-American War each September 12th and every March 17th.

This is a much lesser known part of history that I never thought I’d be absolutely interested in, and here I am wanting to make an undergrad thesis out of it.

1976 Cadillac Mirage Pickup.

Far more than a simple hack-job, the Mirage was created by hot rodding legend Gene Winfield, who worked at Traditional Coach Works between 1974 and 1977Several coachbuilders tried their hand at converting the El Dorado and Coupe de Ville to a luxury pickup truck, but Traditional Coach Works maintained the stringent standards imposed by Cadillac.

This company is the only professional coachbuilder to make alterations to a Cadillac car to create a luxury truck model. It’s the one that created the examples that were made available through select Caddy dealerships. The agreement became the equivalent of a seal of approval by Cadillac dealerships, but not from the company of manufacture. The designer who created the Mirage was Gene Winfield who joined Traditional Coach Works in 1974 and remained with the company until 1977. These were the only three years that the Mirage was produced by Traditional Coach Works. Winfield achieved numerous accolades for his coachbuilding skills. He was named Car Craft Magazine’s 2008 builder of the year. His cars are original, considered works of art, and quite rare. Winfield was hired by James Kribbs, manager of Wilshire Cadillac in the 1970s. James Patrick was an associate in the business who first approached Kribbs with his ideas for creating a luxury truck. Patrick presented three drawings to Kribbs to show the possibilities associated with converting a Cadillac to a truck. Kribbs liked the idea and he founded the Traditional Coachworks company to bring the concept to reality. The first example of the Mirage completed in 1976 was snapped up by the legendary Evel Knievel who purchased the converted Caddy and ordered a second one to feature in a film. What makes the Mirage such a valuable classic these days? According to Alt-Driver, the Mirage is an extremely rare classic vehicle. You can’t classify it as a car, or as a truck because it’s both. The site elevates the Mirage to the status of a unicorn in its rarity. They’re sticking with the widely accepted production number of just 204 examples ever built in the US. They reveal that GM did enter a phase of experimentation with the 1976 Coupe de Villes to add a pickup truck bed to a cut and widened car. This disputes the theory that GM didn’t endorse the Mirage built by Traditional Coach Works, but they did manage to keep it on the down-low. The Mirage was offered exclusively from Cadillac Dealers and the conversion was the work of a third-party coachbuilder. It was never a factory production model.

The design of the Mirage was unique and although some cars were similar in aesthetics. Only 60 of the vehicles were made each year according to Winfield, which brings the production numbers to just 120 over two years. He offered no guess about how many were made the final production year at Traditional Coach Works, or if the other 100 or so models were built by other conversion specialists. The power plant was an 8.2-liter 500 cubic inch engine that generated 200 horsepower with 400 lb-ft of torque. The flying buttresses behind the cab gave it an additional feature that distinguished the Traditional Coach Works editions from the others. The camshaft was custom ground and the compression was elevated to 0.05:1 with Diamond Racing projects forged pistons. The Turbo Hydramatic transmission that was fortified with heavy-duty components. The tranny was modified by Jack Merkel Performance Engines of New York. The braking system was a Hydratech hydro-boost conversion. When’s the last time you saw a Gene Winfield design that didn’t bear an outlandish price tag? With just 200 or so made, it’s very unlikely that you’ll park next to another one at the next classic car show.

September 12 is the Memorial Day of the hanged soldiers of the St. Patrick's Battalion in Mexico.

Initially, the St. Patrick's Battalion consisted of 175 Catholic immigrants from Ireland who left the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 and defected to Mexico. The battalion was formed and led by John Patrick Riley, who was temporarily promoted to major in the Mexican Army during the hostilities. Later, Catholics from Germany and other countries joined the battalion, as well as runaway Negro slaves from the American South. As a result, the number of the battalion was about 700 people.

Most of the fighters were killed during clashes with the American army. But many soldiers were captured in the Battle of Churubusco. They were tried as deserters and sentenced to death by hanging. Then on September 12, American troops began storming the fortress of Chapultepec, in the defense of which the soldiers of the St. Patrick's battalion also took part. American troops lost 900 people killed during the assault. Major General Winfield Scott, who commanded the American army, planned to hang thirty soldiers of the St. Patrick's Battalion sentenced to death in honor of raising the American flag over the fortress after the defeat of the Mexicans. At 9.30 am on September 13, 1847, they were hanged, including a fighter who had both legs amputated.

September 12 is celebrated in Mexico and Ireland as the Day of Remembrance of the Irish soldiers who fought on the side of the Mexican state. In Mexico, in San Angel, one of the districts of Mexico City, a commemorative procession is taking place on this day. Flag bearers of an elite unit of the Mexican army carry the national flags of Mexico and Ireland to the beat of drums. Wreaths are laid at the foot of the pedestal erected in honor of the soldiers and officers of the St. Patrick's Battalion.

We don't yet know, above all, what the world might be like if children were to grow up without being subjected to humiliation, if parents would respect them and take them seriously as people. ...someday we will regard our children not as creatures to manipulate or to change but rather as messengers from a world we once deeply knew, but which we have long since forgotten, who can reveal to us more about the true secrets of life, and also our own lives, than our parents were ever able to. Alice Miller
