Published by American Book Co. 1890 First pub. 1881 Rare edition 392 pages Subjects: United States; History Mary Elsie Thalheimer - American historian and hymn writer Some historical mentions: The British force numbered 4,000. The news of their approach caused a panic, and the raw, untrained militia, hurriedly gathered to oppose them, fled at the first fire. Such, says Hildreth, was the famous battle of Bladensburg, in which very few Americans had the honor to be either killed or wounded. Commodore Thomas Mcdonough (1783-1825), was born in New Castle County, Delaware, and entered the navy when sixteen years of age. He was one of the officers of the Philadelphia, and afterwards assisted, under Decatur, in recapturing and burning his old vessel. Very good for the age. Slightly bumped corners. Spotting and minor soiling to covers. Leather spine with gold gilt lettering. Remarkably clean, tight. Please enlarge all photos and feel free to email any questions that you may have.
