There's actually a (19th Century / Jacksonian) period song about the
battle, called "Hunters of Kentucky". It's notable for (a) having been
used by Jackson as a presidential campaign jingle, and (b) having been
set to the tune of what was, for those days, a fairly racy ditty.

"Miss Bailey", the source of the tune, is at

"Hunters of Kentucky", which has a really overblown background that
overshadows the melody, is at
