After the weary months of waiting—a period of idleness broken only by a few skirmishes with Mexican guerillas in the mountains—the American troopers were wild with enthusiasm at the prospect of action. As the four divisions of the army stood under arms and the first division prepared to lead the march Gen. Scott rode to the front of his columns, Six feet four inches tall, broad in proportion, florid of face, white- bearded and clad in showy dress uniform, the old General was an imposing figure. Haiting, hi ved his hat three times above his head. Says Semmes, an eye-witness: “His white locks gave him the appearance of some inspired old patriarch as he cried: ‘Now, lads, give them a Cerro Gordo shout!'" “The whole army cheered, the regimental bands played and the air waa full of waving flags. Then the bugle sounded for the march. Fellod treea and ditches blocked the road. But the army at first met al- moat no human obstacies. And on the third day’s march, Scott loaked down from thaaumm of the pass into the enormous basin known as “The Valley of Mexico, to suspect that we have gone far enough.
