Horseshoe Bend National Military Park

Battle of Horseshoe Bend - Reenactment

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park is the site of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, the last battle of the Creek War on March 27, 1814. This park, located just east of Alexander City, Alabama, is one of the four dedicated 'War of 1812' parks in the National Park System. The others are Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore, Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial in Ohio, and Chalmette National Battlefield in New Orleans.

On the morning of 27 March 1814, General Andrew Jackson and an army of 3,300 men consisting of Tennessee militia, United States regulars and both Cherokee and Lower Creek allies attacked Chief Menawa and 1,000 Upper Creek or Red Stick warriors fortified in the horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa River.

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park conducts reenactments of different phases of the battle on the forth Saturday of each month. These activities are fun and educational. They start around 10am and go to 5pm. My daughter and I drove up to watch the activities recently. Unfortunately, about a half hour after our arrival things were called off because of severe thunderstorms in area. In fact, if you listen close to the reenactment video you can hear all the thundering and wind blowing. We hope to go back and update you soon. Better still, join us there.

This is Part Two of a Two-Part series of videos on the reenactment of the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
