Captain Wood's men continued the fight at the Convent of Churubusco. After the Mexican defenses fell, Scott called a truce. The peace did not last, but provided relief for both sides. Wood wrote proudly:

“Of my men I hardly know how to speak. The undaunted courage that has characterized them on the field of battle, and the cheerfulness with which they have endured fatigues, privations and hardships incident to a campaign have endeared them all to me. I can only say, although they are few, Arkansas has been nobly represented.”
