Description
On a rainy January day, pedestrians walk through Jackson Square. Textured image.
Formerly the Place d'Armes around which New Orleans was built, Jackson Square, a National Historical Landmark, is now the most prominent location in the �Vieux Carre� or Old Quarter.
On December 18, 1814, Jackson reviewed his troops on this site. He spoke in English to the large crowd; his aide-de-camp, attorney Edward Livingston, translated Jackson's remarks for the primarily French-speaking residents of the city.
On January 13, 1840, Andrew Jackson returned to lay the cornerstone for a �Battle Monument� in the Place d�Armes, commemorating the American victory over the British 25 years earlier at the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson died in 1845, and in 1851 the Place d�Armes was renamed Jackson Square in his honor. This comes from neworleanshistorical.org. A black and white image is also available.
