War of 1812
Wow... 200 years ago. I didn't even make the connection till I heard that on the radio today. They had a piece on about who the Governor of MA was a pacifist and basically didn't want to fight. Strong was his name I think. Oddly enough. And also oddly, I just did a small bit of research for a name in my cemetery, except he's not in my cemetery, he's in England. He died in a prison over there during the war. And I just out of the blue chose to write a blurb about him and there it is.. serendipity?
