My ggg grandfather was a private in Colonel Raulston's 3rd West Tennessee militia at the Battle of New Orleans. He was from Tennessee and 18 years old when he enlisted. His unit, part of General William Carroll's army, bore the brunt of the British assault on January 8, 1815, repulsed the assault, killed their top three commanders, and killed over 2,000 of the attackers.

A well done book on an important battle. These days Andrew Jackson is much maligned - unjustly because without any acknowledgement of the context in which he was acting. The authors of this book, however, break through the current politically correct wall against anything not meeting modern liberal sensibilities and actually plumb the documents and issues of the time. And they then present a highly readable account of the events. Highly recommended!
