@Merry Andrew,
I was thinking the same thing, but If anybody can make the Mex-Tex war interesting, he can.
I like to suggest a site and let the kids find out for themselves.

Some things never change - the Mexican finance ministry is one of them (excerpt from your article):

Mexico was not inclined nor in a position to negotiate. In 1846 alone, the presidency changed hands four times, the war ministry six times, and the finance ministry sixteen times.

Yeah, but through it all, that Santa Ana guy always seemed to come out on top somehow. Amazingly fascinating character.
