It is 2013 and I am continuing the observance of the Bicentennial of the War Of 1812. On January 31, 1813, 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 featured in this video. It pertains to recruitment. I acquired this document four months ago and I am elated to show it to you right now ... on its 200th Birthday!
Here is the url for the video above in case it does not embed properly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uNOMtnd77g
