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.
