The War of 1812 begins in this episode of the Harrison Podcast, and we examine how Harrison found himself back in the Army and in charge of the military forces of the old Northwest as the British began to make inroads into US territory. Harrison had to hold strong against threats, both internal and external, in order to stop the British advance and to work to turn the tide.
