Note 22 — ANDREW JACKSON. (continued 3)

In 1833, a card was published by General Lambert, and four other British officers, of high rank, who were engaged in the expedition against New Orleans, denying, most emphatically, that this was the countersign on the occasion alluded to in the text. An order-book was found, however, on the field of battle, which shows that the watchword was given. It is very possible that the word may have been used by a different division from that to which those officers belonged; this is much more probable than that they could be mistaken in their assertion.
