Battle of New Orleans - Death of General Pakenham, (1878). Creator: Albert Bobbett
Battle of New Orleans - Death of General Pakenham, (1878). The Battle of New Orleans, fought on 8 January 1815, was the final battle of the War of 1812. Technically the war was already over after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, but the news had not yet reached the other side of the Atlantic. The battle resulted in a decisive American victory, with the British compelled to withdraw from Louisiana. One of the British commanders, Major-General Pakenham, was fatally wounded leading an attack on the American positions. From " Our Country: a Household History for All Readers, from the Discovery of America to the Present Time", Volume 3, by Benson J. Lossing. [Johnson & Miles, New York, 1878]

Battle of New Orleans - Death of General Pakenham, (1878)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the Battle of New Orleans. Fought on January 8,1815, this battle marked the final clash of the War of 1812. Although technically the war had already ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, news had not yet reached across the Atlantic. In this intense scene depicted by Albert Bobbett, we witness Major-General Pakenham leading a daring attack on American positions. However, tragedy strikes as he is fatally wounded during this valiant effort. The image showcases his sacrifice and bravery amidst a chaotic battlefield. The Battle of New Orleans resulted in an overwhelming victory for America, forcing British forces to retreat from Louisiana. This decisive triumph solidified American independence and bolstered national pride. Through engraving by Felix Octavius Carr Darley, Bobbett's print transports us back to this historic event. The details captured in monochrome highlight every nuance - from soldiers wielding swords to infantry armed with guns. Preserved within "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers". Volume 3 by Benson J. Lossing, this artwork serves as a visual testament to courage and sacrifice exhibited during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, let us remember those who fought bravely for their country and honor their memory through preserving our shared history.
