Star-Spangled Sailors: A Stirring Account of the Brave Watermen Defenders of Chesapeake Bay in the War of 1812 Book Description
An idealistic, young sea captain faces a test of courage, two gutsy teenagers come of age and a life-scarred black seaman finds redemption in a big story: the desperate battle on land and sea by a band of Chesapeake Bay heroes to save Washington from burning in the summer of 1814 and their hard-won, triumphant victory in the rockets' red glare at Baltimore's Fort McHenry to hold fast to our flag and rescue our nation's honor.
