Description of  1812 The Rivers of War [Audiobook]

Along with a radical Scots-Irish immigrant in the U.S. army, Patrick Driscoll-one of "the Men of '98"-Houston organizes a defense of the U.S. Capitol that prevents the British from destroying it and makes him a national hero. He and Driscoll then play a central role in the defense of New Orleans under Jackson's command. They change the course of that battle in ways that will, over time, transform the relationship between the United States, the Indian tribes of the south, and the slaves brought over from Africa.
