Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Military Society of the War of 1812: Annals, Regulations, and Roster On January 3, 1826, pursuant to notice published in the newspapers of the City of New York of December 31, 1825, a number of commissioned officers and ex-officers, who resided or were stationed in the vicinity, and who had served with reputation in the Army of the United States in the War of 1812, met at the Broadway House, corner of Broadway and Grand Streets, "to take into consideration the expediency of presenting, respectful petition to Congress, praying for a grant of public lands, agreeable to rank and former practice, as a reward for their services, sufferings, and losses during the Second War of Independence." Major George Howard, formerly 1st Regiment, U. S. Infantry, was called to the Chair; Captain Mordecai Myers, formerly 13th Regiment, U. S. Infantry, was chosen Secretary, and Major Clarkson Crolius, formerly 27th Regiment, U. S. Infantry, was appointed Treasurer. The meeting then, after due consideration, unanimously resolved that it was expedient to present to Congress a respectful memorial, praying for lands as a reward for past services. A committee was, thereupon, appointed to draft and forward the memorial as called for by the action of the meeting.
