Andrew Jackson And Early Tennessee History Vol 2 Of 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from History of Andrew Jackson, Vol. 2 of 2: Pioneer, Patriot, Soldier, Politician, President General Pakenham held his last council of war the evening of January 7th. It was made up of Generals Keane, Gibbs and Lambert and Colonels Thornton and Mullens. Admirals Cochrane and Malcolm were also present. The situation was discussed thoroughly and minutely. Among the facts developed was that the real weakness of General Jackson's force had been to some extent ascertained. At all events, the ridiculous exaggerations that had hitherto been believed were largely discounted. The British general had also found out that a great part of the American army was raw militia, and also that many of these were very imperfectly armed, if at all. We need not seek very far for his sources of information. Almost every Spaniard in and about New Orleans was hostile to the United States and, therefore, friendly to the British.
