War Of 1812 Recruitment Document From December 18, 1812 ... It Is 200 Years Old Today!

Today is December 18, 2012. I am continuing the observance of the War Of 1812 Bicentennial. On this day, two hundred years ago, an Ensign of the 16th Regiment Infantry of the United States Army named Thomas J. Martin worked on and completed the document pictured below. It pertains to recruitment. I acquired this document two months ago and I am elated to show it to you right now ... on its 200th Birthday!
