Robert Lucas' Journal-- Part 4: Capt. Rupe's Court Martial

MAY 7, 1812:  Robert Lucas organized three companies from his brigade with the companies of Lucas and Rupe into a battalion.

JULY 17, 1812:  "I was now informed that the sentence of the Court martial I left Siting on the trial of Capt. Rupe was that he should be Cashiered and not permitted to bare arms as an officer in the Defence of the United States.

And, we know that his men immediately re-elected him to be their captain.
