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.
