"Young Bob" Ross -- "The most comfortable warrior a man could wish to serve with" -- "Secret" orders -- "Too late" for the Chesapeake -- "Up hill, down dale" -- "They are not in a condition to strike at Washington" -- High noon at Bladensburg -- "Hero of Bladensburg" -- To burn or not to burn -- Courteous conflagrator -- "Feelings of most acute misery" -- "We have lost our good general" -- Ramifications.;Despite a military career that included distinguished service in Europe and North Africa, Ross is better known for his actions rather than by his name for his 1814 campaign in the Chesapeake Bay, which resulted in the burning of the White House and Capitol and the unsuccessful assault on Baltimore, immortalized in "The Star Spangled Banner." The Man Who Captured Washington is the first in-depth biography of this important but largely forgotten historical figure.
