About This Item
Washington, D.C.: Green and Jarvis Book. Good. Soft cover. 1828, removed, 18pp. Uniform foxing, else G. Henry Daniel was born in Virginia in 1786. After moving to Kentucky and practicing law, he was elected to the House of Representatives. He served in the War of 1812, and was quite agitated when Mr. Burges of Rhode Island intimated that Kentucky was not paying its fair share of tariffs, and called the men from Kentucky "Hog and Hominy boys" and, further, insinuated that the Kentuckians had acquitted themselves poorly at the Battle of New Orleans. Being a native Kentuckian I believe that Mr. Burges, in a dispute over tariffs, simply resorted to making an ad hominem attack, or in this case an ad "hominy" attack. His remarks are colorful, but his statement about the Kentuckians' en masse, having acquitted themselves poorly seems to be in question. It apparently is true that many of the Kentuckians had arrived without rifles and may have left the battlefield in the midst of battle. But it seems true that the Kentuckians who had their rifles and remained were responsible for many casualties on the British side because of their sharpshooting skills..
