The Boe Brothers and the War of 1812

Jim's older brother also named resin left home to go have dangerous adventures when he was about 19 and this was desperately hard for young jim because he was very close to his brother. A few years later when the war of 1812 came to Louisiana jim was finally old enough to follow resin when he enlisted but tragically they arrived too late  the war ended without them having to fire a shot. The boe brothers were still in the militia though and they remained in it for a couple of months after the battle taking on boring patrol duties, spending their off-duty time in the city of new Orleans.
