From the American Battlefield Trust 2021 calendar.
The calendar features a different battlefield from the Civil War, War of 1812 and American Revolution every month. This organization, as I said in the last post, is committed to saving historic acres in these wars that were fought in the United States. They originally started off just for Civil War battles, but I am glad they have expanded their efforts to the other two.
This month's full page picture by Buddy Secor features the Chalmette Battlefield Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Chalmette, Louisiana.
Text:
"NEW ORLEANS, LA.
On January 8, 1815, Major General Andrew Jackson's outnumbered army defended New Orleans from British capture and secured the greatest American victory of the War of 1812.
To date, the Trust has saved 25 acres of War of 1812 battlefields, with more on the horizon. Future preservation and education efforts will continue to elevate the battlefields of this important, but often overlooked, conflict."
I belong to this organization, and as this blog is titled "Not So Forgotten."
There is also a small picture of the Cowpens National Battlefield in Gaffney, S,C., by Brian Keeley.
