Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

This week’s topic idea came to me last week while walking through the St. Louis Cemetery #2 in New Orleans. We turned a corner and ran right into a nineteenth-century military procession marching to place a wreath on the tomb of Daniel Carmick, a hero of the Battle of New Orleans.<\/p>\n

You can see the photo my daughter snapped here<\/a>. And one of me (it was cold!) here on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Battle of New Orleans (Dec 24, 1814 – Jan 8, 1815) was the last battle of the War of 1812. American troops were led to victory over the British by Major General Andrew Jackson, whose battlefield success and increased recognition helped him become the seventh President of the United States in 1829.<\/p>\n

Eyewitness to History: Battle of New Orleans, 1815

Visit Eyewitness to History to read an anonymous soldier’s account of the fighting which was first published in The Louisiana Historical Quarterly, January, 1926. “When the smoke had cleared away and we could obtain a fair view of the field, it looked, at the first glance, like a sea of blood. It was not blood itself which gave it this appearance but the red coats in which the British soldiers were dressed.”<\/p>\n

History: Battle of New Orleans

“In the bloody Battle of New Orleans, future President Andrew Jackson and a motley assortment of militia fighters, frontiersmen, slaves, Indians and even pirates weathered a frontal assault by a superior British force, inflicting devastating casualties along the way. The victory vaulted Jackson to national stardom, and helped foil plans for a British invasion of the American frontier.” Learn more with an illustrated, hyperlinked account of the Battle, along with several short videos.<\/p>\n
