Battle of New Orleans
“Chalmette plain, January 8, 1815. Andrew Jackson's mixed force of regulars, militia, Choctaws, and Baratarian pirates fires from behind earthen ramparts. Foreground shows Kentucky long rifles and Lafitte's gunners working a cannon over cotton bales; midground reveals British redcoats falling in waves on the muddy sugar fields; the Mississippi glints between bare cypresses in a foggy morning sun.”
