Palo Alto Battlefield
For those who really want to learn something about the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, they will visit the Palo Alto Battlefield National Park near Brownsville, Texas. Rather than use my words, I will use theirs:
"On May 8, 1846, United States and Mexican troops clashed on the prairie of Palo Alto. The battle was the first in a two-year long war that changed the map of North America. Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park preserves the site of this notable battle and provides an understanding of the causes, events, and consequences of the U.S.-Mexican War."
If you have already visited, do you agree?
