his immense army at Buena Vista, he sent a flag of truce to invite
Taylor to surrender. "Tell him to go to hell," said old Rough-and-Ready.

the flag, in exquisite Castilian, "Say to General Santa Ana, that, if he
wants us, he must come and take us." And this is the answer which has
gone into history.]
