 The War of 1812
Doctor William Eustis was a prominent anti-Federalist Massachusetts politician who held the position of American Secretary of War for the first six months of the War of 1812.
Even as war approached, Eustis was exceedingly slow at implementing the measures needed for America's proposed three-pronged attack on Canada.
By June of 1812, Eustis had not enlarged the ranks of the regular army as he had promised, nor had he organized adequate supplies of uniforms, weapons, and other provisions.

 Eustis Chair: About Eustis
Eustis Chair started as two companies: one specialized in antique reproduction chairs using traditional methods and old world craftsmanship; the other developed a patented joint technology to create chair seat joints that are stronger than the wood itself.
Eustis Enterprises developed a reputation for old world craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, and that reputation soon led to a contract to build 650 antique reproduction chairs for Harvard University's renovation of Memorial Hall.
This technique, for which he was awarded a patent in 1997, allowed Eustis Designs to build chairs with simple, clean lines that were far stronger than any other chairs available for institutional use.
