Tennessee at the Battle of New Orleans
by Elbert L. Watson
About the author
Elbert L. Watson is known for writing historical works centered on the American South, especially Alabama and Tennessee. Confirmed titles include The History of Etowah County, Tennessee at the Battle of New Orleans, and Alabama United States Senators, which together suggest a long-running interest in local history, public memory, and political biography.
His work ranges from county and city history to military and political subjects. Records also connect him with History of Gadsden, and material from the Encyclopedia of Alabama notes that some entries were adapted from his book Alabama United States Senators, showing that his research has been used in later reference writing.
Reliable biographical details about Watson himself are limited in the sources I found, so it is safest to remember him mainly through his books: a writer who preserved regional stories, civic history, and Alabama's political past for later readers.
