Deaths at Fort St. Philip

January 15, 1815

Fort St. Philip, downriver from New Orleans – The British bombardment finally manages to inflict casualties at the fort, killing two Americans.

de la Ronde Plantation – The British continue withdrawing through the swamp. Gen. Jackson is aware but will not be coaxed from behind his breastwork. Let them leave.
