@CapitolHistory Yes, the treaty was signed but if you read the treaty the war would not end until the signed treaties were exchanged. The treaties were exchanged 2/17/1815. That’s when the war with Britain ended. Treaties with Indians ending the whole war I believe through 1817.
Sad news...MN History is history. After a decade and nearly 500 MN History columns, Star Tribune editors have decided not to renew my contract. Thanks to everyone for suggesting ideas, sharing sweet feedback and reading the tales. I’ve loved writing every word.
@RayBoomhower Purely a guess. I remember him from the US House as a passionate environmental supporter. I’d guess those two, but really don’t know for sure.
