MEXICAN WAR
VETERANS
Nevada, though having but a small population
contains her share of the men who responded to the call
of the United States Government for volunteers to quell
the little unpleasantness which occurred with the
Mexican Government in 1846 These men becoming accustomed
to the hardships incident to a life in that country,
were well fitted for pioneers on the Pacific Coast, and
many of them arrived in California in early days, among
whom we find many prominent and influential citizens.
The same is true of the "Battle-born State," where the
Mexican Veteran Association of the State of Nevada met
and organized on the twelfth day of January, 1877, at
Carson City. The following gentlemen were elected as its
first officers: W. P. Stewart, President; A. D. Treadway,
Vice-President; W. Garrard, Corresponding Secretary; E.
B. Zabriskie, Recording Secretary.
