[History Hounds] William Henry Harrison, Oliver Hazard Perry and the War of 1812 with David Curtis Skaggs, Historian

Join the presenter to examine decisive victories of the War of 1812 on the Great Lakes and the cooperation displayed between Major General William Henry Harrison and Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Their leadership and strategy allowed the United States to regain control of the Lower Peninsula and provides a unique example of what modern military parlance calls "combined operations."
