A scarce account of the Franco-Mexican war.

After the death of Ignacio Zaragoza, Benito Juarez named Jesus Gonzalez Ortega Chief of the Army of the East and entrusted him with the defence of the city of Puebla. During the two months, March 16 to May 16, 1863, the French forces commanded by General Forey besieged the city and a bloody fight for the control of that strategic town took place. Finally, depleted of ammunition and supplies, Ortega was forced to surrender.
