For seven long hour.^ the battle raged, and during the most of the time destruction seemed to be the inevitable doom of Taylor and his Spartan band. But the Indians were finally repulsed and oblidgcd to retire. In 1832 he received a ColonePs commission from Gen. Jackson; and took a very conspicuous part in what is gen- erally termed the "Black HaAvk War. " In this and the Florida War, Mr. Taylor always exlii1)it('d the greatest skill and the most undaunted courage. No offi- cer ever served his ...country better or achieved more honor for himself. His unparalled achievements and victories in the late War with Mexico are fresh in every mind. 8 We beliuld him moving against the enemy, an enemy far superior in number, possessing every advantage as it regards location and the point of attack ; as though he was not only invulnerable but also sure of success. In despite of the inso- lent foe, he planted his conquering standard at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Matamoras, Monteray and Buena Vista.
