HE second of the “three battles in one day"—fought on Aug. 20; 1847, between Scott's little army and three times ae large @ force of Mexicans—was expected to be the most fercely contested of the trio, (Judged as a contest, however, it was to prove a.cad Gzzle.) On the main road leading from Scott's camp to the City of Mexico was the fortified estate of San Antonio, whose thick walls looked capable of withetanding @ month’s siege. It was more like a fortress than @' mere farm. The Mexicans had strengthened Gan Antonio and massed a large force there to dlook the Americans’ advance. Scott's staff thought this might be the hardest of all the local defenses for the invaders to seize, an@ the forte of Churubusco, two miles to the north, seemed the least dificult, th’ doth surmises the forecasts were utterly wrong. ‘The battle of Contreras had been won by the Americans at da: and news of thie disaster to Mexican arma soon reached San Antonio, It threw the defenders into a panic. A flank movement of Scott's whereby an American force was marched to the rear of San Antonio completed the scare. The main body of the garrison deserted San An- | tonto before a blow could be struck, and tried to fall back for safety to the 12,000 Mexican reserves that were encamped nearer the capital. Hence, when the Americans attacked the fort they found only an easily beaten handful of men between them and easy victory. Dis- Americare * covering then that the main garrison was in full retreat, the gave chase. A short distance further on they caught up with the retiring column of troops that had been San Antonio's defenders. Falling upon the Mextean line, the Americans cut it in two and sent the broken halves scurrying off in opposite directions. ‘Thus ended the brief and unspectacular battle of San Antonio, second of the day’s three conflicts. And now came the climax—one of the sharpest fights of the whole war—the battle of Churubusco, | Churubusco was @ small village about six miles south of the City of | Mexico, and was at the southern end of the causeway that led to the capital. | At the causeway's entrance Santa Ana had built a fort, mounted batteries on | it and garrisoned it with the pick of his army. Nearby was @ convent, heavily garrisoned, whose high walle were pierced for cannon. In the convent, among the hi of native Mexican soldiers, were ‘ band of renegade Americans, led by one Thomas Riley. Most of them were” deserters from Scott's army. They knew that capture would mean instant death for them. The fact that this gang of renegades were “fighting with ropes around their necks" (and would choose death in battle sooner than surrender to their vengeful fellow-countrymen) made them doubly formidable. ‘The stone houses of Churubusco Village were also used as shelters for Mexican firing parties. Ard in rear of the village were massed some of Santa Ana's 12,000 “reserves”. body of veterans 7,000 strong—4,000 infantry and 3, cavalry. To oppose all these various forces—most of them waiting behind seem- ingly impregnable defensee—Gen. Scott had that day barely 9,000 effective men. The strength of the whole Mexican army has been estimated at from 27,000: to $3,000. Weighted by overwhelming odds, the Americans moved forward, in several detachments, against the fortifications of Churubusco, third and greatest battle began.
