<description><![CDATA[<a class="highslide" href="https://picture.graycity.net/img/curtis-manning/the_battle_of_new_orleans_reconsidered.jpg"><img src="https://picture.graycity.net/img/curtis-manning/the_battle_of_new_orleans_reconsidered_preview.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" title ="The Battle Of New Orleans Reconsidered" alt ="The Battle Of New Orleans Reconsidered"/></a><br//>The Battle of New Orleans Reconsidered arose organically from the rich 
heritage of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.  The same land that was 
witness to the Battle of New Orleans would also spawn a unique and 
vibrant culture known for close-knit families, good food, refineries and
 the activities centered around the bountiful wetlands.
 	
Academic cultural offerings were rare when the Nunez History Lecture
 Series began in 2001.  Some folks at Nunez Community College, the only 
institution of higher education in the Parish, decided to tell the 
stories of the people of St. Bernard and Louisiana, hoping that a 
handful of others might also be interested. After 14 seasons of over 100
 lectures and an average attendance of over 100 people, the Lecture 
Series is still finding new stories to tell.
	
A natural outgrowth of the Lecture Series was to feature a more 
detailed treatment of the second most important historical event in St. 
Bernard Parish history, the Battle of New Orleans.  And the College was 
the natural place since the battlefield was in sight of the campus on a 
clear day.  However, the plans for the first Symposium were delayed by a
 few years when the most important historical event in St. Bernard 
Parish history, Hurricane Katrina, left six feet of water across the 
Nunez campus and up to seventeen feet of water across the rest of the 
Parish.
 	
By January of 2013, the first Battle of New Orleans Historical 
Symposium was held at the College, with the audience likely sitting in 
the exact spot that soldiers mustered for the Battle.  Once the 
Symposium became established and successful, the only nagging problem 
was the ephemeral nature of the knowledge being created.  With some of 
the most passionate and knowledgeable speakers in the nation, it just 
seemed natural to expand and preserve the great information being 
presented.

	So in a labor of love, many of the top lecturers agreed to put pen 
to paper and tell the story of the Battle of New Orleans in greater 
detail.  The result is The Battle of New Orleans Reconsidered]]></description>
