Examining Maryland's influential role in the War of 1812.

I've posted this:

Battle of St. Leonard Creek

“Thus, we have beat them and their rockets, which they did not spare…The moment the enemy ran off, we moved up the river, so that thanks to hot and cold shot, the blockade is raised.” - Joshua Barney, quoted in American & Commercial Daily Advertiser, June 29, 1814.

A reenactment occurred in front of my home in southern Maryland in 2014. Here's my post, with pictures:

1. You know who's a big War of 1812 buff?

Your former governor, and briefly presidential candidate, Martin O'Malley. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he appeared on the program or even narrated it.
