How can this photo be from the War of 1812? Photography hadn't been invented yet! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Younger_Scott.jpg

Good point; I think it's a photo of a painting. But I'm not 100% sure. DS (talk) 14:06, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed, it's a lower-resolution cropping of an engraving (originally published in 1836). We should probably replace it with the better version. DS (talk) 14:26, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
