I've read it, really enjoyed it and reviewed it for Amazon.

Here's my review...I hope it doesn't ruin anything for you.

"This is a entertaining book with lots of new information and history. I found it very passionate to the subject and compatable to my own love of this place and period of history. I really appreciate the work.

My only criticism would be of a lack of only a few details and facts in the Battle of Lake Borgne; and in at least one case of incorrect information..example; Lt. Thomas Ap Catesby Jones of 1815 did not command the CSS Virginia during the American Civil War in 1862. That would have been his nephew Lt. Catesby Roger ap Jones(1821-1877), son of Major General Roger Jones.

There is so little actual detailed information on this history that the problem of contridictions is large, especially when it comes to WHO fought at the Battle (seige?) of New Orleans.

I highly recommend this book."
