Here at 10:30 on the morning of March 27, 1814, general Jackson quickly emplaced his single battery, one 3-pounder and one 6-pounder. He immediately opened a lively but ineffective fire on the center of the sturdy log barricade. After his Indian allies entered the peninsula stronghold form the rear, he ordered a frontal assault on the stubborn wall.
