This document, one of the most remarkable produced by the national government, is a complete history of the Mexican War to its date. It includes fine battle maps and sketches of the Battles of Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, and other Battles of Mexico; the operations of Generals Worth and Quitman; the Battles of Sacramento and Los Angeles; General Price's operations.
Wagner-Camp, Graff and Rittenhouse cite this document only for Fitzpatrick's Indian Affairs report, but it can't be beat for its maps and graphic reports on the War.
