Faces of the battle Plenty has been written the Battle of New Orleans. But something that seemed to be lacking was a modern collection of portraits and photos of the people involved in it or by it. Just about everyone knows what Andrew Jackson looked like, but what did the others look like? Thus the goal of this book was to put a face on as many of the participants as possible. The images in this collection are misty in one of two forms: photographs in their advance age or oil paintings. Photography was not invented until two decades after the war, so the only photos of veterans were not taken until the mid or late 1800s. The wealthier citizens and soldiers were able to afford an oil painting portrait. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ADAIR, Gen. John Kentucky.
