Pike joined the United States Army in 1799. Within the first year, he was promoted from Second Lieutenant to First Lieutenant. In 1806, he was promoted to Captain, while he was on the southwest expedition. Pike rose quickly through the ranks, in the six years, after his second expedition, becoming a Brigadier General, during the War of 1812. This rare front facing portrait celebrates his glorious life.
