		Using the town as a forward base to reconnoiter routes to Monterrey, a company of Texas Rangers occupied it during the July 4th holiday, consuming two horse troughs of whiskey in the process as well as a number of local chickens and hogs that died "accidentally" during the celebration.
		Happily for the town, Taylor concluded that the route through Reynosa to Monterrey was impractical and moved the bulk of his forces thirty miles further upriver to the town of Camargo.
		Monterrey was one of the U.S. Army's few experiences with urban combat since the American Revolution, and the lack of expertise showed in the operations that followed.

		Grant's accounts of the incidents, and later his accounts of dozen more battles, were always matter-of-fact, devoid of emotion, recording only the incident and never his thoughts.
		Nonetheless, the battle had been enough of a success to boost Taylor's fame across the country, and he began to be talked about as a possible Presidential candidate.
		At San Cosme, Grant earned his own note of the battle when he led a group of troops to capture a church and mount a cannon in the belfry where it could fire on distant Mexican troops–the incident even earned a brief mention in the dispatches to Washington.
