This close-up of the previous print shows in the foreground, surrounded by staff, an American officer wearing a white cap, probably intended to be Gen. Taylor, on his horse "Old Whitey".  Just beyond him is the 3rd Infantry and beyond them the 2nd Dragoons.  To the right the 5th Infantry is formed in a square to repel Mexican lancers seen attacking from the distance on the right.  Directly beyond the dragoons is Maj. Ringgold's battery of the Flying Artillery assisting the 5th Infantry.  To the left of the 18-pounders are several lines of American infantry, representing the 4th and 8th Infantry, and a battalion of artillery acting as infantry.  Beyond them, left, are another squadron of the 2nd Dragoons and Capt. Duncan's battery of light artillery.  Along the Mexican line in the distance, long lines of infantry alternate with batteries of artillery.
