Washington Burns


Washington, D.C., August 25, 1814. On this date the British overran the City of Washington, burning much of the city and the seat of government.
For previous posts referencing the War of 1812, see here, here, and here.
Go on over to Secondary Roads and wish my friend, Chuck, a happy birthday!
