This post marks the 2007th that I have done since 2012 when I began this blog to honor the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. I believe that to be more posts than any other blog on this somewhat forgotten war.
I started it so I could learn more about the war as I realized I really didn't know a lot about it. Back when I was teaching U.S. history, I was supposed to cover it from the beginning to the Civil War. I think only one year I made it as far as the War of 1812.
I have definitely learned a lot about the War of 1812.
The Brock in the Brock-Perry sign-off refers to British/Canadian hero General Isaac Brock and the Perry refers to U.S. Naval hero Oliver Hazard Perry.

2012 marks the 200th anniversary of America's "Forgotten War," the War of 1812 that took place over three years, 1812 to 1815.
Battle of New Orleans.
