1812 Bicentennial

Volunteers will re-enact the Battle of the River Raisin at the bicentennial commemoration of the War of 1812 in Monroe, Mich., Jan. 19, 2013. The battle between Kentucky regulars and local militia facing British troops and their native American allies resulted in a massacre and led to the battle cry "Remember the Raisin" for the rest of the war.
