The Grand Defiance
A Fine Later Printing in a Fine dust-jacket.
In 1812, the United States and Great Britain are locked in a bitter conflict over the contested territory of the Louisiana Territory. As the war expands, the US Army is stretched thin, and General Andrew Jackson is determined to take Orleans. With a large British force blocking his way, Jackson begs the president for reinforcements.
On the night of December 22, 1812, General Jackson's army crosses the frozen Mississippi River and launches an assault on the unsuspecting British garrison at New Orleans. The battle is fierce and long, but in the end, the Americans emerge victorious. The victory at New Orleans is a watershed moment in the War of 1812, and it solidifies General Jackson's reputation as a military genius.
The Grand Defiance is the story of one of the most dramatic and important battles of the War of 1812.; 8vo; 309 pages.
