*"President Polk and his advisers decided to land an army at Vera-cruz, on
the east coast, and strike a blow at Mexico City.  Many of Zachary Taylor's
best troops were ordered to join Major General Winfield Scott, who was
placed in charge of the new campaign.  President Antonio Santa Anna of
Mexico was in command of the Mexican Army.  He learned of the American
plans and immediately led a large army against Taylor at Buena Vista, in the
mountains beyond Saltillo.  The Mexicans were badly defeated.  Taylor
became a hero because of his victories, and was elected President of the
United States in 1848."
