Excerpt from General Jackson
His old comrade and friend, a near neighbor for half a lifetime, the late Major William B. Lewis, a gentleman competent to judge in such matters, used to say, as he talked of the Creek and New Orleans campaigns, that Andrew Jackson, in point of native military capacity, was the peer of the great generals of the world - Caesar, Cromwell, Frederick, Bonaparte, or Wellington - and in support of this opinion he would adduce many curious facts and traits that could be known only to an intimate and confidential companion.
