No Cotton at New Orleans

HISTORIANS persist in saving, and people
IL persist in believing, that the breastworks
thrown up by General Jackson at New Orleans
were made Of cotton bales covered with earth
As a matter OF fact, there was not pound of
cotton on the ground and this fact has been
verified by Major Chotard, General Jackson's
assistant Adlutant General, who was himself a
participant IN the battle.
4 well known engraving that nearly always
appears in modern school histories IS that of
General Cornwallis handing his sword to
General Washington at the surrender OF York
town; and this III spite OF the fact that TO spare
Cornwallis the humiliation, General O 'Hara
gave his sword to General Lincoln III token
of surrender.
Possibly in the course Of time the Battle
of Bunker Hill will be rightly called the Bat
tie OF Breeds Hill; and, TO return to ancient
history, the marvellous chronicles OF Herodotus
will be discredited 1t IS told in history that
Hannibal cut his way across the Alps with iron,
fire, and vinegar, but the question still remains
as to how ne applied the vinegar The conflict
ing accounts OF the life OF Napoleon 60 to
illustrate the discrepancies Of many historical
writers.
All have heard the words. All IS lost but
honor" attributed to King Francis /, in a
letter TO a woman, vet when this letter was re-

New-York tribune., 1906-10-21

TH I fact that a large proportion of all the
l. history OF all the world IS false is perhaps
known TO few people That American history
particularly abounds in errors, blunders, and
stereotyped falslties IS known TO even a
smaller number. Walpole wishing to amuse
his father after unusually wearisone dav,
proposed reading to him from a book Of history.
Anything but history said the old man
for history must be false"
When It IS considered that historians in
every period of the world have been narrowed
and biased by personal opinion and surround
ing circumstances, the wisdom of this remark
IS perceived. The worst part of 1t all is that
when once a mistake has been made it has
rarely been rectlfed, each succeeding historian
beng content to accept as facts the work Of
those who went before him. The ultimate
result OF this was that the mistakes were be-
heved by those who read them, and events
IN story that never happened or were false
were accepted by the world and ever after
known as the markers OF important epochs.
For instance, the Battle OF Lexington, which
occurred April 10, I775, IS known as the first
battle between the ColonistS and the British.
But this was not So for the records OF Orange
County. North Carolina show that on the road
from HillsbOro TO Salisbury, on May 10, I77I,
an engagement between a squad OF British
troops and q body Of Colonists took place. in
which thirty-six men were killed and several
wounded. The trouble was caused by the
resentment of the COOnisJs over the illegal
taxes imposed by the British clerk of the
county court.

A Misquoted Able

A Nd again, when Louis XVI. laid his head
n beneath the guillotlne, MS contessor Abbe
Edgeworth dismissed him from the world, so
history tells, with the beautiful viaticum,
"a Son Of Saint Louis, ascend to Heaven, yet
in reality he said nothing OF the sort.
The brave defiance, The guard dies. but
never surrenders," attributed TO Cambronne
when, at Waterloo, the imperial guard were
ordered TO throw down Their arms, has been
shown to have been the fanciful creation of
some historians mind and the saying, Provl-
dence favors the stronger side" or as II has
been corrupted. God IS on the side with the
heaviest artillery" which has been attributed
to Napoleon, really originated with writers
of antiquity. Cicero alludes TO 1t as an old
proverb.'
1t would take volumes to contain all the
bunders. small, large, and indifferent, that
historians have made and the lamentable
part OF II that the old blunders are constantly
being made over again, 50 that with the errors
that are bound to occur in the history OF the
present. and the mistakes that our toretathers
made and which We are still making, history
in time will become little more than long
though extremely interesting work OF hcton-
