Why doesn't anyone get excited about the war of 1812, you may ask

This week marks the two hundredth anniversary of the commencement of the War of 1812…There will be a parade, displays of musketry, reänactments, and, for those less than compelled by the military side of history, there will also be a “special focus on Jane Austen and the Regency Era, exploring its fashions and fascinations.”

(New Yorker)


And now you know.
