CAPTURE OF MONTEREY

In the foreground is General Taylor with the column of attack marching down to the eastern
edge of the city.  Smoke from the Black Fort and the town itself show the Americans were
under fire from the beginning.  To the right of the Black Fort are Independence Hill, on top of
which is the Bishop's Palace, where smoke indicates the position of Mexican artillery.
Federation Hill lies beyond.  The Sierre Madre Mountains lie in the background, left.
