The War of 1812 & The Battle for St. Michaels, Maryland

 Welcome to August 10, 1813, in the little town of St. Michaels, Maryland.

On this hot, dark morning the feared British Navy attacked

the town of three hundred, defended by local militias.

 Wilson was part of the team making "We Are One"

The War of 1812 happen.  This was a year in the making.  

 This publication excited the interest of accomplished

and renowned historians and writers who have

contributed to the book on a volunteer basis.

Hundreds of volunteer hours made it possible.

 Locate St. Michaels on the map and you

now know the area we live in.  Baltimore

and Washington, DC are approx. 2 hours from us.

 I have to admit I'm very, very impressed with the stories,

pictures, and quality of this book.

 Here are two samples of the pictures Wilson took.

 Miles River & the town of St. Michaels now.

 Saturday evening we went to the book release

party at the Wades Point Inn which was a sold out affair. 

Many of the story contributors shared interesting

facts about their research and pieces they contributed to the book.

 A horse & buggy ride took guests to the historic cemetery

located on the property of Wade's Point.

 Wilson asked this gentlemen to smile for the camera

and he politely said solders did not smile when their

pictures were taken ... so there!

 After the event we went for a quick dinner {of course}

in St. Michaels ... a town rich in history.

Now if you want a copy of this book I'm not sure

how the Town Commissioners of St. Michaels 

will be distributing this for sale.

The price is $10.00 which is a steal.
