The War of 1812

Meet Jay



And, meet CJ

They are Illinois Rangers protecting the Midwest against Indians.   There were 10 companies of mounted rangers to protect settlers in the Louisiana purchase.   Daniel Boone was hoping to command one of these companies.


But, he was found to be too old. 

The flag of its day.

Thanks Jay and CJ
