Forum:Soldiers of the War of 1812

The LatA articles have pretty much single-handedly made such a category possible, with Winfield Scott, David E. Twiggs, Davy Crockett (well he was in the service while the war was going on, even though he fought the Creeks instead) and James Bowie joining Andrew Jackson. Hell, throw in James Madison: He took command of an artillery battery for a little while during the evacuation of the capital in what I believe is the only instance in American history of a President issuing orders to front-line combat troops directly. Alas I don't believe we have articles on anyone who wore the red during that conflict; the closest we have is Laura Secord.

As to the matter of growth potential. . . We'd probably have to consider it slim to nil, I'm afraid. I guess there's always the possibility of some posthumous reference or other, and who knows what the next Tor.com story will be about? Turtle Fan 15:51, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
