Posted on The Collection by Josh Gray-Emmer · February 06, 2015 6:52 PM

Scarce large version of this Mexican War Battle plan, depicting one of the very few battles fought in California during the Mexican War.

The plan shows the Pueblo de Los Angeles, the American Encampments before and after the battle, the Rio De Los Angeles, Mexican positions, batteries, charges, etc. Mexican War Battle plans are relatively uncommon.

The map is engraved by Kollner.  The more common version is about 1/2 the size of this edition.
