Puebla, Mexico, has the unfortunate distinction of being known as a key military target to anyone interested in attacking Mexico City. This beautiful city, located in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains and some 80 miles from the capitol city of Mexico, has been the scene of countless attacks and occupations, including one by the American forces in 1847 during the Mexican War. No battle is as well known, however, as one that occurred in 1862. Taking advantage of internal Mexican .problems. Emperor Napoleon III decided that the time was ripe for establishing a French presence in the New World.

To be sure, upon their landing at the port of Vera Cruz, the French forces met sporadic resistnce, but easily fought their way along the road to Mexico City. It was when they reached the town of Puebla de Los Angeles that problems arose in the form of Mexican general Ignacio Zaragoza.
