  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

To All Who Love and Seek the Truth This Work is Dedicated BY The Author. EDITOR'S Preface. It were an error to suppose that prejudice is always the off- spring of ignorance, inasmuch as the reverse is very frequently true. Not seldom is ignorance the result of prejudice, through a willful refusal to recognize such facts as run counter to the latter. A more accurate simile would, therefore, be the liken- ing of prejudice and ignorance to twins, of whom either may be the precursor of the other, and either one the stronger of the two. The prejudices which follow ordinary ignorance give way readily before increasing knowledge of the truth, but where prejudice is the elder of the twin vices, it is usually the most obstinate as well.

    LODGE hero tales from american history ROOSEVELT henry cabot lodge and theodore roosevelt hero tales from american history Courage under Fire. Self-Sacrifice. Battles that Changed America. American history is full of men and women who have acted courageously when their families, communities and country needed them most. Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt discovered they both loved telling the stories of these outstanding individuals who helped make America. They pared down their favorite stories to 26 and gave them as a gift to the young people of America in 1895. The McConnell Center is pleased to make this volume available again to America’s youth in hopes that it inspires them to learn more of our history and encourages them to new acts of heroism. Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) served in the United States Senate from 1893 until his death in 1924. He was one of the most important American statesmen of the early 20th century and was leader of the Republican Party in the Senate. Among the books he authored were important biographies of George Washington, Daniel Webster and Alexander Hamilton. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th president of the United States. He authored more than 18 books, won the Nobel Peace Prize and accomplished enough to earn his place alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore, our most recognized monument to American political heroes.

  • Dr. William Beanes and the Privateers
    Dr. William Beanes and the Privateers Presented By: Doctor Robert Arnold William Beanes was born in Croome, Prince Georges County, Maryland, on January 24, 1749. Hs parents had emigrated from Scotland and were owners of a large estate. Beanes, who spoke with a Scottish accent all of his life, studied medicine under one of the medical men in the neighborhood. On November 25, 1773, he married Sarah Hawkins Hanson, the niece of John Hanson who was the president of the First Continental Congress. In 1779, Beanes bought property outside the town of Upper Marlboro and established his medical practice. He was very successful and became the areas’ largest landowner and owned the only mill. Dr. Beanes was a civic-minded individual who was involved in local medicine and politics. He supported Boston’s resistance to the Coercive Acts. He served in a general hospital after the Battle of Lexington, and in 1814, the Battle of Washington, D.C. He was one of the founders of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, a predecessor of the State Medical Board. He helped establish the Trinity Protestant Episcopal Church in Upper Marlboro, and was elected as its first Senior Warden. He was one of 3 elected officials in Prince Georges County and had posted a bond for a lottery to build a public school and library. He was active in training apprentices and one of his students, John Magruder, wrote a Dissertation on Gastritis to acquire his Degree of Doctor of Physick and recognized Dr. Beanes in his dissertation.
