A rousing and heart-pounding tale rich with historical detail, about two half-brothers, Reuben and Thaddeus Flack, who set out to deliver a flatboat full of local Kentucky goods to the market in New Orleans in the new Louisiana Territory in 1814.

Unwittingly the brothers stumble into New Orleans just in time to be unwilling participants in the historic battle.
