Signalled With His Gold-Headed Cane

From the Journal of Major Isaac Roach, 1812-1824, published in The Pennsylvania magazine of history and biography, Volume 17:

He [Colonel Moses Porter] gave the signal with his gold-headed cane. Bang! went the shot; and in less than ten minutes by my watch, the blockhouse was on fire.

The Marble Statue Of Queen Luise

"It was an odd coincidence that the completed statue (monument of Queen Luise) left Rome on July 19th, the day of the Queen's death.  But England in that year was at war with the United States, and so it happened that a Yankee privateer overhauled the British merchantman, too her prisoner, and sailed away with her precious cargo.  But the captured merchantman was in turn chased and overhauled by the English privateer Elisa, so that once more the monument of Queen Luise sailed under the British flag."

The statue reached Berlin May 22, 1815.

A Peaceful Passage Of The Army

The Kentucky Volunteers returned home [after the Battle of Tippecanoe].  The 4th U. S. regiment was stationed at Fort Harrison and Vincennes until the month of May, 1812, when it marched for Ohio, and joined the north-western army, then fully organized, and having moved forward from the plains of Mad River, was encamped at Urbana, Champaign county, and the commanding officer was holding a council with the chiefs of the Wyandott, Ottoway, Miami, and other Indian tribes living within the boundaries of the State of Ohio, for a peaceful passage of the army through the Indian territory, commencing a few miles north of Urbana, and extending with few exceptions to Detroit.
