General Jackson was the hero in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. This bronze statue is one of 30 horse and rider statues in Washington, DC. This is a remarkable statue because the sculptor placed the center of gravity in the hind feet of the horse. This statue is the centerpiece of Lafayette Park across from the White House. The four canons surrounding the statue are those captured by Jackson in Pensacola, in his last campaign. The inscription on the base of the statue reads - Jackson – “Our Federal Union It Must Be Preserved.”

The bronze statue faces west, while Jackson and his charger look slightly south toward the White House. Grouped at the base are four of the cannons Jackson captured in Pensacola, Florida. These four are rare pieces cast by Josephus Barnola at the royal foundry in Barcelona, Spain, and are named El Aristeo (1773), El Apolo (1773), El Witiza (1748), and El Egica (1748) for Greek gods and Visigoth kings.
