- Title
LIBERATION AND CONQUEST: JOHN HAMILTON ROBINSON AND U. S. ADVENTURISM TOWARD MEXICO, 1806-1819.
- Authors
Narrett, David E.
- Abstract
This article examines the tendency of U. S. adventurers to conceive of liberation and conquest as a single enterprise through their participation in the Mexican Wars of Independence against Spain. The author addresses this theme by examining John Hamilton Robinson (1782-1819), explorer and spy, diplomatic envoy and military adventurer, volunteer Mexican officer, and a mapmaker of imperialistic intent.
