Neimeyer, CharlesTHE CHESAPEAKE CAMPAIGN, 1813-14 An illustrated account of the Chesapeake Campaign, highlighting militia defense, Washington's burning, and American resilience at Baltimore. Details how in early 1813, Britain launched a campaign on the Chesapeake Bay to try and divert American regulars from the Canadian border. Secretary of War John Armstrong chose to rely on local forces and state militias to protect the Chesapeake Bay region. This meant that towns, ports, and even the nation's capital were left vulnerable to attack. The failed British attempt to capture Baltimore, combined with a decisive American victory at Plattsburgh, New York, underscored American resilience and contributed to Britain's decision to end the war without any territorial concessions.
