America was two years into another war—The War of 1812. By nightfall on the 24th, British soldiers were setting fire to D.C., starting with the Navy Yard, then the Capitol and the White House, where First Lady Dolley Madison still kept watch.\n\nJane Sutcliffe draws upon first-person accounts to recreate a compelling chronology of the events of August 24, 1814.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1580896561\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1580896561.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sutcliffe, Jane\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
