Did Jackson have any US Marines at New Orleans in 1814? I know there was a US Navy presence and the British had a Royal Marine presence. |

There were 58 Marines from the New Orleans Navy Yard commanded by Major Daniel Carmick, who had commanded the Marine detachment on the USS Constitution during the Quasi-War with France. Colonel Charles Waterhouse did a painting of the Marines at New Orleans defending their position against the British assault. Major Carmick was wounded in the head by a rocket fragment and died two years later from the effects of the wound. link |
