At the Battle of New Orleans, General Andrew Jackson and most of the trained American soldiers were gathered on the left side of the battlefield, leaving the right side to be defended by less trained Kentucky and Tennessee militia. After being informed by a traitor from the American side, British General Pakenham concentrated his attack there, but found that these militiamen were fully capable of holding their position with backwoods hunting sharpshooter skill and trusty long rifles; the fighting there included McLean's Company and the heroics of Ephraim Brank. A lithograph of the battle showing a sharpshooter and men loading long rifles for him was published in Harper's Weekly on January 12, 1861, forty-six years after the battle.
