The action of Atlixco, also known as the Atlixco affair, on October 19, 1847, was a U.S. victory late in the Mexican–American War by an American force under General Joseph Lane that defeated the Light Corps of the Mexican Army under General Joaquín Rea and captured their base at Atlixco a week after Lane had driven Rea from his lines and relieved the Siege of Puebla.Justin Harvey Smith, The War with Mexico, Vol. 2, The Macmillan Company, New York, 1919, pp.178–179, 426–427 note 17.Albert G.
