It’s Cake and Candles today for Brigadier General John Harrison, born this day in 1775 in Pennsylvania. 
Harrison became a local official in his home county until the War of 1812, when he enlisted and his company was sent to defend Baltimore against the British in one of the war’s biggest victories for the American side.
