Battle of New Orleans and Its Monuments
The history of the Chalmette Monument. American forces, led by Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson, defeated the British Army during the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Beginning with an overview of the battle, this book details the history of this monument-which resembles an obelisk-and chronicles the building process. It also includes period photographs of the monument and portraits of significant historical figures.

The Battle of New Orleans
This written and pictorial history describes New Orleans during the early nineteenth century, with an emphasis on Andrew Jackson's presence in the city. The book begins with a drawing of the proposed layout for New Orleans from 1815 by Jacques Tanesse, a city surveyor. Following sections provide an explanation for such locales as the Place d'Armes, which comprise the Cabildo, the St. Louis Cathedral, the Presbytere, and the Pontalba Buildings. The volume provides a historical background for the Ursuline Convent; the U.S. Custom House; College d'Orleans, the first institution of higher learning in the city; and St. Louis No. 1, which was the only open cemetery at the time, among other sites. Descriptions of each establishment incorporate information about the architecture, along with its past and present status. Other New Orleans landmarks mentioned in the text include the Orue-Pontalba House and the Girod House. Firsthand testimony describes such scenes as Levee Street, a landing place for steamboats, and the Market-house, where buyers and sellers of various ethnicities exchanged goods. Period illustrations provide the reader with a visual reference.
