From the January 11, 2022, Quad Cities.com "Learn about War of 1812 Battle of Rock Island Rapids on Wednesday library program" by Jonathan Turner.
Rock island is part of the Quad-Cities straddling the Iowa-Illinois border on the Mississippi River.
Kevin Braafladt, the Army Sustainment Command Deputy Historian at the Rock Island Arsenal and Army Sustainment Command History Office will give a free talk Wednesday, January 12 at 6 pm (CST) about a Quad-City battle fought during the War of 1812.
This session (presented by the Davenport Public Library) will discuss the Battle of Rock Island Rapids within the context of the War of 1812 as well as the local conflicts that broke out during the war on the Mississippi River.
This program is scheduled to be held in person at the Main Davenport Public Library at 321 N. Main Street and it will also be held virtually.
So, if you're living in the area you have time to go, or you can attend virtually by going to the library site and registering for Zoom.
