Excerpt from History of the Invasion and Capture of Washington: And of the Events Which Preceded and FollowedTo the sources of information above-mentioned, and to the author's own personal knowledge of events which he witnessed, he has been enabled to add recent statements from some of those whose position at the time of the capture of the seat of government, and whose high standing in the community at present, give a deep interest to the written communications with which they have favored him. Among these are letters from the Hon. Richard Rush, a member of Mr. Madison's cabinet, and the venerable Major George Peter, of Montgomery County, Maryland, commander of the District Light Corps, which will be found in the Appendix. Other communications Of a similar char acter, which have been useful to us in preparing the work, are omitted, in order that the bulk of the volume might not be unnecessarily increased.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
