Passed 3000 Posts to This Blog

This post marks the 3019th for this blog.  I started it back in 2012 during the bicentennial of the War of 1812.

I started it mostly to find out more about the war, which is often relegated to "forgotten" status.  I found that it was an interesting war and had a lot more about it than just the burning of Washington, D.C., the Battle of Baltimore and "The Star-Spangled Banner" which is about the most many Americans know about the war.

Actually, I had envisioned this blog stopping after the war ended 200 years ago, but as you can see, it continues.

The Brock-Perry sign-off for this blog refers to British and Canadian hero Isaac Brock and American hero  Oliver Hazard "We have met the enemy and they are ours" Perry.
