Product Description

Defense Of Baltimore: And Death Of General Ross is a historical account of the War of 1812, specifically the Battle of Baltimore. The book is written by Richard Emmons, a veteran of the battle who served as a private in the Maryland Militia. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the battle, including the burning of Washington D.C. by the British. Emmons then describes the preparations made by the Americans to defend Baltimore, including the construction of Fort McHenry. The main focus of the book is the Battle of Baltimore, which took place on September 12, 1814. Emmons provides a first-hand account of the battle, including the bombardment of Fort McHenry and the famous flag-raising that inspired Francis Scott Key to write ""The Star-Spangled Banner."" The book also covers the death of General Robert Ross, the British commander who led the attack on Baltimore. Emmons describes the circumstances surrounding Ross's death and the impact it had on the British forces. Overall, Defense Of Baltimore: And Death Of General Ross is a valuable historical account of an important event in American history. Emmons's first-hand perspective and detailed descriptions provide readers with a vivid picture of the battle and its aftermath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
