The William C. Cook War of 1812 in the South Collection
1801­1975; predominant 1812­1815
Approximately five linear feet, exclusive of library
Scope & Content: This extensive collection of documents, rare publications, and artifacts was
gathered over a period of forty years by private collector William C. Cook of Nashville; it was the
largest collection of such materials in private hands prior to its acquisition by THNOC. Mr.
Cook's collection focuses on the War of 1812 in the South, particularly the Creek War, the war in
the Gulf of Mexico, and the Battle of New Orleans. Major General Andrew Jackson, military
commander during these events, is well represented, and the collection also includes various
important U.S. Army and militia documents, as well as materials concerning the participation of
the southern Indian tribes and manuscripts from the British perspective. Also present are related
materials concerning the War of 1812 in the South from a later date, the largest single grouping of
which contains campaign materials from the 1828 presidential election. These principally focus on
the 1815 execution of the six militia men that were most dramatically executed in the infamous
"Coffin broadsides."

those who hear of it will be that they won with an inferior
force. He notes that the British have withdrawn to their former
positions, and speculates as to their next move, whether they
will wait for reinforcements, or, as he believes, abandon the
expedition. He continues to hear firing coming from the British
bombardment of Ft. St. Philip, and is awaiting intelligence
from there; he believes several British vessels have been blown
up, but that they still "present a formidable force." He confirms
that the British commander, Gen. Packingham [sic] was killed
on the 8th, and other senior officers badly wounded, leaving
Genl. Lambert, a junior officer, as the one Genl. Jackson must
deal with. [British] Admiral Cochrane seems willing to agree to
"fair terms as to the exchange of prisoners". Signed: John

entire front page has the look and text of the "coffin broadside"
by John Binns, known as "Monumental Inscriptions". (See
folder 188 for Binns’ original.) On verso are several articles
endorsing the "National Republican Ticket" of John Quincy
Adams (for president) and Richard Rush (for vice­president)
and opposing the "Blood & Carnage Ticket" of Andrew
Jackson (for president) and John C. Calhoun (for vicepresident),
all bringing up information about their pasts; among

the issues brought up are use and mis­use of public funds by
the candidates, Jackson's role in the slave trade, quotes against
Jackson by those who have known him (including Sen.
Thomas Hart Benton), more about the executed militia men,
and Jackson's history of corruption. There is a particularly
lengthy section on Rush's background and qualifications. The

in favor of Andrew Jackson for president in the 1828 election

by Adams' supporters. They specifically name Jacob B. Moore
and John Binns as printers. The articles include (recto):
"Murder Will Out", which describes a "secret circular from
Jacob B. Moore"; "The Literary Fund", in which they state that
if Adams wins the federal Literary Fund would be given over
entirely to Dartmouth College; "Rev. Abraham Burnham",

Jackson. Beneath the title are 184 black coffins of varying
sizes, and in the center of the page is a coffin­shaped cartouche
containing the text titled "Sacred to the Memory of Sir E.
Pakenham and 2500 Officers and Soldiers of His Majesty the
King of Great Britain, who, on the Eighth of January, 1815,
were condemned without even the benefits of a Drum Head
Court Martial, and cruelly shot to death, by Andrew Jackson,
A Sanguinary Military Chieftain". The rest of the text satirizes
the "coffin broadsides" It accuses Jackson of killing those who
had come to teach Americans "the blessings of a monarchy",
and describes the Battle of New Orleans in the same sort of
lurid language used in the coffin broadsides by Jackson's
opponents. The entire text and illustrations are surrounded by
a black mourning border. Acc. No. 2001­68­L.27. 1 sheet,

coffins, each with the name of an executed militia man above
it. The coffins are flanked with a soldier at attention on each
side of the page. Beneath this is a paragraph accusing Jackson
of unfairly executing them, and introducing an excerpt from
the 1828 Feb. 2 issue of the Democratic Press, in which an
eye­witness describes the executions. The whole of the text

with the name of one of the militia men above it (Jacob Webb,
David Morrow, John Harrris, Henry Lewis, David Hunt, and
Edward Lindsey). Beneath this are five columns titled "A brief
account of the Execution of Six Militia Men", a description of
the execution by an eye­witness originally published by John
Binns in the Democratic Press newspaper; most broadsides
using it give the paper credit, but this one does not. Beneath

Williams Research Center, MSS 557, page 50
this section, the poem "Mournful Tragedy" is printed in six
columns, followed by a black border, and three asymmetrical
sections, divided by black borders. In one section are seven
vertical coffins, followed by a caricature of Jackson caning or
beating another man. There are two segments of text in this
section: beneath the coffins is an account of Jackson's
"sanguinary massacre" of a peaceful Indian village; next to the
caricature is a paragraph about Jackson assaulting Samuel
Jackson in the streets of Nashville. In another section, under a
horizontal coffin, is an account of the case of John Woods who
was executed while under Jackson's command for disobeying
an officer "who was not Woods' equal at home". The third
section, beneath four vertical coffins, describes Jackson's
hanging of four Indians without a trial. Below these sections is
another black horizontal border, beneath which is a letter
written by Thomas Hart Benton, 1818 Sept. 10, at which time
he was a Lieut. Col., 39th Infantry, describing a gun fight he
had with Jackson and others in 1818; at the time of publication
of this broadside, Benton was a U.S. Senator. The whole of
the text and illustrations of the entire broadside are bordered

Folder 200 [1828] Broadside. Some Account of some of the Bloody Deeds of
Gen. Jackson. Beneath the title are six vertical coffins, each
with the name of one of the militia men above it (Jacob Webb,
David Morrow, John Harris, Henry Lewis, David Hunt, and
Edward Lindsey). Below this in five columns is "A brief
account of the Execution of the Six Militia Men", reportedly
by an eye­witness, stressing the wrongness of the conviction,
the "feminine weakness" of Baptist preacher [John] Harris, and
the bravery of [Henry] Lewis, who lived several days after the
shooting. This account was originally published by John Binns
in the Democratic Press newspaper; most broadsides using it
give the paper credit, but this one does not. Below this, in six
columns is a poem titled "Mournful Tragedy," followed by a
block of five smaller articles and illustrations, asymmetrically
laid out, and divided by black borders. One shows12 vertical
coffins, under which the text, using excerpts from the General
Orders, discusses soldiers under Jackson command executed
just after the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Another has a
caricature of Jackson caning or beating another man who is
falling to the ground [this illustration has been altered from
that of most broadsides illustrating this episode]. The text tells

Williams Research Center, MSS 557, page 51
of Jackson's assault of Samuel Jackson in the streets of
Nashville. Another, under one horizontal coffin, tells the story
of John Woods, a soldier under Jackson's command, executed
for disobeying "an upstart little officer, who was not Wood's
equal at home". A fourth, unillustrated, tells of Jackson
massacring an Indian village 1814 Mar. 27. The fifth in this
block has four vertical coffins across the top, with text below
concerning Indians hung without trial by Jackson's order.
Below this block, across the bottom of the page, in two
columns, is a letter written by Thomas Hart Benton, 1818
Sept. 10, at which time he was a Lieut. Col., 39th Infantry,
describing a gun fight he had with Jackson and others in 1818;
at the time of publication of this broadside, Benton was a U.S.

Also on verso is a manuscript annotation, dated 1896 Mar. 28,
by Jessie Benton Freemont, Los Angeles, California, to her

had a brawl that ended in several shootings with Thomas Hart
Benton and his brothers at the Nashville Inn, there was a
woman staying there with her son, later General [John Charles]
Frémont. When the son grew up and wanted "to marry a

be safe if elected president. The text of a letter Benton wrote

Williams Research Center, MSS 557, page 52
1813 Sept .10, when he was a Lieut. Col. 39th Infantry,
accuses Jackson of starting the fight by drawing a gun on
Benton while he was unarmed. The handbill's editor adds a
brief footnote reminding the reader that Benton is now a
Senator from Missouri, and that "he is in league with Van
Buren & Co. to elevate this same Jackson to the Presidency";
this footnote also accuses Jackson of planning "military rule."

documents of the War Department in a way prejudicial to
Jackson. Among the documents quoted are Army General
Orders; extracts from the trials; correspondence of Gov.
[Willie] Blount, the Secretary of War, General Andrew
Jackson, William Harris (son of John Harris), and others. The
broadside argues that it was generally believed by even the
Secretary of War, the President, and General Jackson, that the
Tennessee Militia were signed up for only three months, not
six; and that the good conduct of the prisoners and pleas for
mercy were not taken into consideration. It ends with a

Corresponding Committee of the City of Albany stating that
they have seen several pamphlets and handbills distributed in
New York, some printed in Albany, that purport to print
official documents in the case of the six militia men; they

Nouvelle­Orléans: Imprimerie de J. L. Sollée, Rue de Chartres,

most Americans that Louisianians of French descent were not
zealous in their defense of New Orleans by discussing those
who fought in the Battle, organized committees of defense,
etc., trying to make the point that the battle could not have
been won without the locals. He includes in his descriptions
the actions of many specific individuals, including free people
of color. Pamphlet is in French; English translation is in folder.

Folder 221 [horn ca. 1815,

British Powder Horn with scrimshaw etching of Battle of New
Orleans. Originally issued by the British Army, approximately
14 inches long. Carved on the horn is the British order of battle
prior to their attack on January 8, 1815; British corps and
regiments depicted in front of "Rodrigue's Canal" separating
British and American forces. It has the inscription "XCV G
Rex" of the 95th Rifle Regiment (Prince Consort's Own), and a
cartouche with the motto "Celer et Audax." The etched map
shows British and American artillery batteries, British
Congreve rockets and troops handling scaling ladders, and
other details. Though the horn itself likely dates from ca. 1814­
15, anomalies in the etched design suggest that it was done
much later by someone who was not actually present at the
battle. For example, "Celer et Audax" (Swift and Bold) was
the motto of the 60th Rifles Regiment rather than the 95th, and
it seems unlikely that an ordinary soldier could have had the
detailed information about overall troop positions and
movements so soon after the British retreat. Yet even as a later
commemoration piece, this powder horn is a curious and
beautiful artifact. Acc. No. 2002­36­L. 1 item. Note: 3D
