In 1815, Britain's crack troops, fresh from victories against Napoleon, were stunningly defeated near New Orleans by a ragtag army of citizen soldiers under the fledgling commander Andrew Jackson, whom they dubbed \"Old Hickory.\" It was this battle that first defined the United States as a military power to be reckoned with and an independent democracy here to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e The Battle of New Orleans\u003c\/i\u003e sets its scenes with an almost unbelievably colorful cast of characters—a happenstance coalition of militia-men, regulars, untrained frontiersmen, free blacks, Indians, townspeople, and of course, Jackson himself. His glorious, improbable victory will catapult a once-poor, uneducated orphan boy into the White House and forge the beginning of a true nation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094888595696,"sku":"9781433272424","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433272424_p0.jpg?v=1763751303","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433272424","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
