The American History Podcast, Season 2, Episode 26, The War in New Mexico, and California.

Welcome to the American History podcast.

Hosted by Sean Worswick.

Thank you. Posted by Sean Worswick. All right, welcome back. I hope you're ready for an interesting episode.

Today we will be getting away from the narrative on the war in Mexico as we look at the battles in other theaters, specifically the campaigns to subdue New Mexico and California.

However, first let me remind you that you can go to www.theamericanhistorypodcast.com and sign up for our email list.

We've also got some pictures and a map up there that deals with

this particular episode. If you're into the social media thing, I am on Twitter at American

Hiscast. Also, if you'd like to support the show, head over to Patreon. For $3 a month, you'll get

access to our special Patreon members-only series titled

1983, the year the world almost ended. And it's pretty cool if I do say so myself. So

head over there and check it out. You can go to our website. There is a button down at the

bottom of the main page. Click on, and it'll take you directly to the

Patreon page. And finally, if you haven't noticed, the sound has improved big time. That is thanks to

my microphone and my sound editor. He suggested a new microphone, which works with my iPhone,

and the results have been amazing. I had been using a very nice microphone and garage band, but for some reason, garage band,

it didn't like me.

Anyway, if you need sound editing or photography or anything like that, he can be reached

at madoctomedia at gmail.com, and his website is madoctopusmedia.com. Okay, enough of that. This episode is a long one,

so let's get started. First, however, is the song of the week. This week, the song of the week is

Old Folks at Home by Stephen Foster. Enjoy, and we will see you on the other side. Way down upon the Swanee River

Far far away
