Description

Washington, D.C. February, 1815. partially-printed document, completed in manuscript, with a paper seal of the United States affixed to lower left corner. An official presidential appointment signed in ink by President James Madison, and James Monroe the Secretary of War on the 20th day of February 1815, and in the thirty ninth year of the Independence of the United States.

It is a document appointing Daniel Chandler […] a first lieutenant in the ninth regiment of Infantry in the service of the United States to rank as such from the fifteenth day of October, eighteen hundred and thirteen.

The signature of Daniel Chandler is to be seen at the base of the document.

A wonderful piece of Americana

Daniel Chandler served in The War of 1812 (18 June 1812 – 17 February 1815) which was a conflict fought by the United States of America and its indigenous allies against Great Britain and its allies in British North America, with limited participation by Spain in Florida. It began when the US declared war on 18 June 1812 and although peace terms were agreed in the December 1814 Treaty of Ghent, did not officially end until ratified by Congress on 17 February 1815
