Got My Battle of Lake Erie Stamps-- Part 2
On the back of the sheet, there is a painting of Oliver Hazard Perry, (Old Sideburns. He does sport quite an impressive set of sideburns.) Under it says: "With his victory at the Battle of Lake Erie, Oliver Hazard Perry (1785-1819) forced the British and their Indian allies (and Canadians) to abandon their outposts on the Detroit frontier. *(And, very importantly, the loss of Detroit itself.) Perry was immediatelty celebrated as a natinal hero."
The reason I sign off these blog entries with Brock-Perry is half because of Oliver Hazard Perry. The Brock comes from Canadian/British hero Isaac Brock.
My Hero. --Brock-Perry
