as a junior officer in the 7th Infantry, became Adjutant General to
General William Hull in 1812. Taken prisoner during the surrender of
Detroit, Jesup went on to fight in at Chippewa and Niagara after
being exchanged. During the Seminole War, he was given command of U.S.
troops, but Jesup returned to his Quartermaster General post after being
wounded. Ink slightly smudged at the "l" of Gnl. Slightly soiled. Fine
