The Hunters of Kentucky, also called The Battle of New Orleans and Half Horse or Half Alligator, was a song written in 1821 to commemorate Andrew Jackson's victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans. In both 1824 and 1828 Jackson used the song as his campaign song during his Presidential campaigns. Throughout the term of Andrew Jackson, Hunters of Kentucky proved to be a popular song, and Jackson used it for his 1828 campaign. This is ironic as Jackson's "fieriest rival", Henry Clay, was the one from Kentucky; Jackson was actually from Tennessee, near Nashville. Due to a copy of the song being depicted on the front cover of Davy Crockett's Almanack of Wild Sports in the West, it is thought that Hunters of Kentucky might have been sung during the Texas War of Independence, but this is speculation as no other evidence supports the song being sung during that conflict. However, Americans who entered Canada in 1837 and 1838 did sing the song.
