Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park, a National Park Service unit, preserves the site of the first battle of the U.S.-Mexican War. To help visitors research their ancestry and to honor the War veterans, Palo Alto is creating an online soldier database.
The database will be free and available on the park website at http://www.nps.gov/paal. At this time Palo Alto is gathering information to create a searchable database.
Does anyone have any details, such as age, occupation, enlistment date, etc., on the Columbus Guards? Any information provided will be credited as you specify.
Thank you,
Karen Weaver
