The American victory did much to advance the respect accorded the young nation, and a great deal to enhance the reputation of General Andrew Jackson. In addition to an extensive account of the battle, there are brief biographies of General Jackson, General John Adair, Colonel Gabriel Slaughter, and Governor Isaac Shelby of Kentucky. There are maps and engravings, and several appendices giving alphabetized rosters of Kentucky soldiers in the battle. Zachary F.
