In part one of this fabulous story, we begin at the turn of the 19th century as an international pissin match turns into the conflict known to history as The War of 1812. Jesse Perse Harmon (17 years old) and his older brother both enlisted. This is a portion of Jesse’s story and some of his most notable experiences from that war. From the Siege of Fort Erie in Canada, the Battle of Lacolle Mill, to an explosive moment of terror and tragedy that emotionally marked the remainder of his long life.
