NARRATIVE OF
EVENTS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE,
And of the ATTACK ON NEW ORLEANS, in 1814 & 1815.
By CAPT. I. H. COOKE, 43d Regt.
“This clever and fearless account of the attack on New Orleans is penned by one of the ‘occupation;’ whose soldier-like view and keen observation during the period of the stirring events he so well relates, has enabled him to bring before the public the ablest account that has yet been given of that ill-fated and disgraceful expedition, and also to rescue the troops who were employed on it from those degrading reflections which have hitherto unjustly been insinuated against them.”—Gentleman’s Magazine.
“We wish earnestly to call the attention of military men to the campaign before New Orleans. It is fraught with a fearful interest, and fixes upon the mind reflections of almost every hue. Captain Cooke’s relation is vivid; every evolution is made as clear to the eye as if we had been present, and the remarks, we think, are eminently judicious. The book must be generally read,” &c.—Metropolitan.
“It is full of good feeling, and it abounds with sketches of the service.”—Sunday Herald.
