UNIVERSITY OF Maryland SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE, PLANNING, AND PRESERVation The school provides a process through which students and the professional community can express the creativity, acquire the technical capacity, accept the social responsibility, and recognize a sense of history to make the decisions that shape the built environment. Through research, practice, outreach, and teaching, students learn to understand the built environment at all scales: from the history, design, function, and impact of a single building or public space to the operation, physical form, and socioeconomic system of a metropolitan region. Faculty and students alike address issues of the art of designing buildings, neighborhoods, and urban districts, as well as the science of understanding the relationship of people to their built environment, both past and present; the socioeconomic conditions in the contemporary city; and the factors that shape urban form. UNIVERSITY OF Maryland HISTORIC PRESERVation PROGRAM The program is a collaboration of faculty with specializations in a variety of interrelated disciplines, with a goal of educating professionals for work in a wide range of preservation organizations. Research on historic preservation issues is also a focus of the program, pursued through faculty and student projects, in partnership with preservation organizations and University partners. The Historic Preservation Program offers a Master of Historic Preservation (MHP) degree as well as a graduate Certificate. The MHP is designed as a full-time, two-year curriculum leading to a professional degree. The 45-credit MHP curriculum stresses policy and planning for preservation, and includes core courses, an internship, an interdisciplinary studio course, and a large selection of electives to stimulate each student’s particular interests. 2008 HISTORIC PRESERVation STUDIO (HISP 650) The Historic Preservation Studio class brings together graduate students from the preservation program to work collaboratively on a project in the local community, from inception and problem formulation through completion. Guided carefully by faculty, students conduct research, interact with communities, perform analyses, and propose solutions for an issue or problem of direct relevance to a local community and client group. 3 LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD Table of Contents Table of Contents .................................................................................................. 4 The Battle of Bladensburg Cluster .................................................................... 27 Introduction ............................................................................................ 27 Table of Illustrations ............................................................................................ 6 A Brief History of the Battle of Bladensburg ...................................... 28 Infrastructure .......................................................................................... 30 Commonly Used Abbreviations ........................................................................ 7 Interpretation .......................................................................................... 31 Marketing ................................................................................................ 38 Executive Summary ............................................................................................. 8 Partnerships............................................................................................. 39 Funding.................................................................................................... 40 Resumen Ejectivo ................................................................................................. 10 .

    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.
