Battle of Cerro Gordo

The Battle of Cerro Gordo, or Battle of Sierra Gordo, in the Mexican-American War saw Winfield Scott's United States troops out-flank and drive Santa Anna's larger Mexican army from a strong defensive position.
==Background==
After United States forces captured the port of Veracruz on 29 March 1847, General Winfield Scott advanced towards Mexico City on 2 April by crossing the Rio Antigua.〔Bauer, K.J., 1974, ''The Mexican War, 1846–1848'', New York: Macmillan, ISBN 0803261071〕 General Antonio López de Santa Anna, commanding Mexican forces in the area, had prepared fortifications at Cerro Gordo, near Xalapa, with more than 12,000 soldiers in a fortified defile, dominated by El Telegrafo.〔 These included several batteries under the command of brigadier generals Luis Pinzon, Jose Maria Jararo, and Romulo Diaz de la Vega.〔 Scott's leading division, commanded by David E. Twiggs, reached the Cerro Gordo Pass on 12 April.〔
