For additional information, take a look at this website Working independently, John C. Lefgren and John P. Pratt give evidence for determining the date of the First Vision. Their evidence comes from these sources: (1) The personal account of Joseph Smith where he tells that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to him in the early spring of 1820 in a grove of trees near his father's farm. (2) The ancient prophecy from the Book of Enoch concerning the whole history of the world. (3) The repeating cycles of time as measured by earth, moon, sun and week within the framework of the Calendar of Enoch. (4) The weather-dependent cycles for the production of 1,000 pounds of maple sugar that the Smith Family made in the early spring of 1820. (5) The world's first systematic national weather reports ordered in 1820 by the Surgeon General of the Army. In that year medical officers from 16 army posts in the United States were required to record weather conditions three times a day: 7:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. Many of these original reports can be found in the National Archives. In June 1820 the Surgeon General took these records and prepared the first weather report in the history of the world. His report was printed by the National Intelligencer, the dominant newspaper in Washington, D.C. In July 27, 1820 issue of the newspaper, the date for the First Vision was identified as the warmest and most beautiful day for the month of March 1820 at Sackets Harbor, New York. That is to say, Sunday, March 26, 1820, satisfies the weather conditions that were required for the setting of the First Vision.
Why is this date important? Because we all search for the Hand of God in our lives? Surely, God moves in a mysterious way. God will restore the broken pieces of history. He loves His children and He allows His Spirit to give His children light and knowledge as they are willing or capable of receiving more light and more knowledge. Someone with the mind of John Pratt is required in order to understand the ancient calendar which the Angel Uriel gave to Enoch. Enoch was the seventh from Adam and two thousand years ago his calendar had great significance for the people of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Book of Enoch has seven chapters that describe the functioning of the revealed calendar. Enoch made prophecies covering the history of the world which he carefully placed into ten cycles of time.
Without John Pratt's understanding of Enoch, there would be no chance for anyone to find Sunday, March 26th, 1820 as the date for the First Vision. Let's give thanks to God that He gave such a mind to John Pratt. His mind came to us from the same family that gave to the Church Parley P. Pratt and Orson Pratt. The Pratt Family. What a family! John Pratt. What a mind! Does anyone know of anyone else who at age four discovered the uniqueness of prime numbers? Or, that at age three found incredible joy in the fact that each day has a unique number? John Pratt is an unusual person. May we all learn from John Pratt. May we marvel that through the gift and power of God we have received the Book of Mormon and that we can all stand as witnesses of the Restoration. May God bless us as we try to come to a unity of the faith.

War of 1812 | Wikipedia audio article
The War of 1812 was a conflict fought between the United States, the United Kingdom, and their respective allies from June 1812 to February 1815. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theater of the Napoleonic Wars; in the United States and Canada, it is seen as a war in its own right.
From the outbreak of war with Napoleonic France, Britain had enforced a naval blockade to choke off neutral trade to France, which the US contested as illegal under international law. To man the blockade, Britain impressed American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy. Incidents such as the Chesapeake–Leopard affair inflamed anti-British sentiment in the US. In 1811, the British were in turn outraged by the Little Belt affair, in which 11 British sailors died. Britain supplied Indians who raided American settlers on the frontier, hindering American expansion and provoking resentment. Historians debate whether the desire to annex some or all of British North America (Canada) contributed to the American decision to go to war. On June 18, 1812, US President James Madison, after heavy pressure from the War Hawks in Congress, signed the American declaration of war into law.With most of its army in Europe fighting Napoleon, Britain adopted a defensive strategy. American prosecution of the war effort suffered from its unpopularity, especially in New England, where it was derogatorily referred to as Mr. Madison's War. American defeats at the Siege of Detroit and the Battle of Queenston Heights thwarted attempts to seize Upper Canada, improving British morale. American attempts to invade Lower Canada and capture Montreal also failed. In 1813, the Americans won the Battle of Lake Erie, gaining control of the lake, and at the Battle of the Thames defeated Tecumseh's Confederacy, securing a primary war goal. A final American attempt to invade Canada was fought to a draw at the Battle of Lundy's Lane during the summer of 1814. At sea, the powerful Royal Navy blockaded American ports, cutting off trade and allowing the British to raid the coast at will. In 1814, one of these raids burned the capital, Washington, although the Americans later repulsed British attempts to invade New England and capture Baltimore.
In Britain, there was mounting opposition to wartime taxation and demands to reopen trade with America. With the abdication of Napoleon, the blockade of France ended and Britain ceased impressment, rendering the issue of the impressment of American sailors moot. The British were then able to increase the strength of the blockade on the United States coast, annihilating American maritime trade and bringing the US government near to bankruptcy. Neither side wanted to continue fighting. Peace negotiations began in August 1814, and the Treaty of Ghent was signed on December 24. News of the peace did not reach America for some time. Unaware of the treaty, British forces invaded Louisiana and were defeated at the Battle of New Orleans in January 1815. These late victories were viewed by Americans as having restored national honour, leading to the collapse of anti-war sentiment and the beginning of the Era of Good Feelings, a period of national unity. News of the treaty arrived shortly thereafter, halting military operations. The treaty was unanimously ratified by the US Senate on February 17, 1815, ending the war with no boundary changes.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of the United States Marine Corps (USMC) begins with the founding of the Continental Marines on 10 November 1775 to conduct ship-to-ship fighting, provide shipboard security and discipline enforcement, and assist in landing forces. Its mission evolved with changing military doctrine and foreign policy of the United States. Owing to the availability of Marine forces at sea, the United States Marine Corps has served in nearly every conflict in United States history. It attained prominence when its theories and practice of amphibious warfare proved prescient, and ultimately formed a cornerstone of the Pacific Theater of World War II. By the early 20th century, the Marine Corps would become one of the dominant theorists and practitioners of amphibious warfare. Its ability to rapidly respond on short notice to expeditionary crises has made and continues to make it an important tool for U.S. foreign policy.In February 1776, the Continental Marines embarked on their maiden expedition. The Continental Marines were disbanded at the end of the war, along with the Continental Navy. In preparation for the Quasi-War with France, Congress created the United States Navy and the Marine Corps. The Marines' most famous action of this period occurred in the First Barbary War (1801–1805) against the Barbary pirates. In the Mexican–American War (1846–1848), the Marines made their famed assault on Chapultepec Palace, which overlooked Mexico City, their first major expeditionary venture. In the 1850s, the Marines would see service in Panama, and in Asia. During the U.S. Civil War (1861–1865) the Marine Corps played only a minor role after their participation in the Union defeat at the first battle of First Bull Run/Manassas. Their most important task was blockade duty and other ship-board battles, but they were mobilized for a handful of operations as the war progressed. The remainder of the 19th century would be a period of declining strength and introspection about the mission of the Marine Corps. Under Commandant Jacob Zeilin's term (1864–1876), many Marine customs and traditions took shape. During the Spanish–American War (1898), Marines would lead U.S. forces ashore in the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, demonstrating their readiness for deployment. Between 1900 and 1916, the Marine Corps continued its record of participation in foreign expeditions, especially in the Caribbean and Central and South America, which included Panama, Cuba, Veracruz, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua.
In World War I, battle-tested, veteran Marines served a central role in the United States' entry into the conflict. Between the world wars, the Marine Corps was headed by Major General John A. Lejeune, another popular commandant. In World War II, the Marines played a central role, under Admiral Nimitz, in the Pacific War, participating in nearly every significant battle. The Corps also ...
