  • 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.

It includes manuscript collections (MS), vertical files (VF), published works, maps, prints, and photographs that may support research on the military, political, civilian, social, and economic dimensions of the war, including the United States’ relations with France and Great Britain in the decade preceding the conflict. The bulk of the manuscript material relates to military operations in the Chesapeake Bay region, Maryland politics, Baltimore- based privateers, and the impact of economic sanctions and the British blockade of the Bay (1813-1814) on Maryland merchants. Many manuscript collections, however, may support research on other theaters of the war and include correspondence between Marylanders and military and political leaders from other regions. Although this inventory includes the most significant manuscript collections and published works related to the War of 1812, it is not comprehensive. Library and archival staff are continually identifying relevant sources in MCHC’s holdings and acquiring new sources that will be added to this inventory. Accordingly, researchers should use this guide as a starting point in their research and a supplement to thorough searches in MCHC’s online library catalog.

  • FORT Howard, Maryland History and Artifacts
    Fort Howard History 1896 - 1940 • If you have old pictures, written documents or family history stories about Fort Howard and the soldiers who served there, the Friends of Fort Howard Park would love to see and record them. Please contact us at [email protected]. Developed by the Dundalk – Patapsco Neck Historical Society & Museum and Edgemere - Sparrows Point Recreation Council Fort Howard was built at North Point, where the Patapsco River flows into the Chesapeake Bay. North Point was historically important long before the fort was constructed.. NORTH POINT Old North Point Road was once an Indian trail leading down the “backbone of Patapsco Neck.” Captain John Smith In 1608, during his epic exploration of the Chesapeake Bay, Captain John Smith and his crew are thought to have entered Old Road Bay, just west of North Point. “They adorn themselves with copper beads and paintings. The women have their legs, hands, chests, and faces cunningly tattooed with beasts, and serpents wrought into their flesh with black dots. In each ear they have 3 great holes whereat they hang chains, bracelets or copper. Some of the men wear in those holes a small green and yellow snake, near half a yard in length which crawling and lapping itself about his neck oftentimes would kiss his lips. Others wear a dead rat tied by the tail, the whole skin of a hawk stuffed with the wings abroad or the hand of their enemy dried.” Captain John Smith describing the natives he met during his exploration of the Chesapeake in 1608. Colonial Ships Anchored At North Point In 1683 an Act was passed establishing “North Point” as a terminus for ships moving goods to or from eastern Baltimore County .

  • General John Stricker and the Defense of Baltimore
    GENERAL JOHN STRICKER AND THE DEFENSE OF BALTIMORE s Marylanders were celebrating the bicentennial of the defense of Baltimore and Fort McHenry, it is important to recognize the con- tribution of General John Stricker and to understand the historic context in which he lived. He was born in 1759 and raised in Frederick, Maryland. His paternal grandparents had emigrated from Switzerland to North Carolina and then moved to Frederick. His grandmother was French Swiss, while his grandfather was German Swiss. His mother, whose family name was Springer, also was of Swiss background. In the Revolutionary War of 1776–82, he first served in his father’s (Colonel George Stricker) German artillery company. He then was com- missioned as an officer in Proctor’s Artillery and rose to the rank of cap- tain. He saw action in Washington’s major engagements from Trenton in December 1776 to Monmouth in June 1779, he was assigned to General Sullivan’s scorched earth expedition against the Iroquois in the New York’s Finger Lakes region. At the end of the war, he lived for some months in Philadelphia and married Martha Bedford. They had six daugh- ters and one son. He soon settled in Baltimore became a prominent mer- chant, and also served in the local militia and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. Eventually, he would play a crucial role in the defense of Baltimore in 1814.1 FEDERALISTS AND REPUBLICANS Political life in the early Republic was dominated by a two-party system, the Federalists and the Republicans. The Federalists advocated a strong central government to foster commercial and industrial growth.

    4 I The Maryland Natural Resource Don Troiani is a military historyTroiani artist the 5th Infantry who painted Don at the Battle of North Point The Battle of North Point A Little-Known Battle from a Scarcely Remembered War By Ross M. Kimmel ost people can make a pretty good guess when the War of 1812 started. Some know about the bombardment of Fort McHenry, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star-Spangled Banner. MAnd movie buffs no doubt recall mustachioed Yul Brunner as the pirate chieftain Jean Lafitte coming to the rescue of silver-haired, heavy-browed Charlton Heston as Andrew Jackson in The Buccaneer, an account of the Battle of New Orleans. Not as well known, perhaps, is the pivotal role that Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay played in the war. And even less well known is the Battle of North Point, a fierce engagement on the outskirts of Baltimore that helped turn the Chesapeake campaign against the British. But the Battle of North Point was a clash that pitted a disciplined, yet untested militia against battle-hardened British veterans. It saved Baltimore and helped boost the self-esteem of a young nation that had just seen its Capitol and many of its national buildings burned to the ground.

June, 2012 begins the bicentennial observance of the war of 1812; a 30- month war with Great Britain, which ended when the Treaty of Ghent was ratified by the U.S. Senate in February, 1815. The Treaty of Ghent resulted in the Photo courtesy of USNPS/Fort McHenry National Monument release of all prisoners of war and Photo courtesy of USNPS/Fort McHenry National Monument restored all captured lands and ships to both sides. The treaty made no major changes to the pre-war situation, but did end the British practice of “impressing” U.S. merchant seamen (stopping American ships on the high seas and kidnapping crew for service in the Royal Navy). Sailors Rights was one of the principal causes cited by the U.S. when it declared war.

FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT VOLUME I – TEXT SEPTEMBER 2013 For future copies: Kristen L. McMasters Government Technical Representative DOI – National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program 1201 Eye Street NW (2255) 6th floor Washington, DC 20005 This material is based upon work assisted by a grant from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of the Interior. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Maryland Maritime Archaeology Program (MMAP) wishes to express its appreciation to the American Battlefield Protection Program, especially Kristen McMasters and Paul Hawke, for their guidance, advice and patience as we worked through unfamiliar bureaucratic processes, vast geographic areas, changes in staff, equipment failures, and inclement weather. Evie Cohen, the Maryland Historical Trust’s Chief, Operations Management/Grants Manager, managed all the finances for the project and ensured that fiscal reports were completed and submitted on time; a daunting task for which we are eternally grateful. We would also like to thank former MMAP staff member Brian Jordan for his efforts, early in the project, in crafting and submitting the various work plans requiring approval to begin fieldwork. Like many agencies, MMAP is understaffed and has been operating with only 2/3 of the required personnel. Therefore, the assistance provided by the large number of volunteers, many of them loyal supporters for years, is more than gratefully received, it is critical to the undertaking and completion of most projects.
