In Full Glory Reflected: Discovering the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake
By Ralph E. Edelman and Burton K. Kummerow
My son got me a copy of this book for father's day. It is a great read about the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake bay area. Lots of ideas about raids and local militia opposing naval landing parties. The battles of Bladensburg and North Point are covered in detail.
The strength of the book are the wonderful illustrations by the famous artist Gerry Embelton. These alone are worth the price of the book. In addition there are two outstanding birds eye maps of the battles at Bladensburg and North Point. Great eye candy and great for creating your miniature battlefields.
Finally there is a guide to sites featured in the book and yours of sites. Again indispensable for planning future adventures your War of 1812 sites in the Chesapeake area.
Highly recommended!
