Too Late For Blood: Florida Volunteers in The Mexican War - Russell D. James. When the Mexican War broke out in 1846, American men from every state but three joined the volunteer forces heading for Mexico. Floridians did not initially send troops to the front. Florida was a young state, having entered the Union scarcely a year earlier. Floridians had fought the Second Seminole War and still had concerns about the Seminole Indians on the peninsula. By the time the Florida Volunteers arrived in Mexico, it was too late for them to give or take blood in battle. This book is intended as a starting point for study of both the history of Florida during this period and as a continuation of Mexican War scholarship. The stories of the five volunteer companies from Florida are enhanced with appendices that include muster rolls, deaths, discharges, pensions and bounty warrants. 2005, 5˝x8˝, paper, 148 pp.
