The April issue of Maryland Life has a piece I wrote called “Bicentennial of a Blindsiding: When the Brits Stormed Havre de Grace.” It’s about the devastating attack that took place there during the War of 1812, and the City’s plans for the 200th anniversary observance. The attractively situated community at the top of the Chesapeake has been working on this celebration for a couple of years now and they are anticipating 20,000 visitors on the first weekend in May.
