Synopsis "The Evening Gun: War of 1812 Trilogy Volume 3"
The year is 1814, the final year of the War of 1812. With the Atlantic Seaboard closed by the British blockade, Isaasc Biggs, Jack Clements, and Jake Tate, fresh from their harrowing adventures in Canada, find berths with Joshua Barney's gunboat Flotilla on the Chesapeake Bay. These swift, shallow-draft little vessels are a thorn in the side of the British fleet and the British command is determined to destroy them. Chased up the Patuxent River by the British, the flotilla finds an uneasy refuge in Benedict, MD, where Isaac falls heavily for the daughter of a militia colonel. Then the men of Barney's flotilla are called ashore to help fight the Battle of Bladensburg and assist with the defense of Washington City. Later, they will find themselves in Baltimore, where they witness the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the company of Francis Scott Key. Continuing the saga of A Press of Canvas and A Fine Tops'l Breeze, The Evening Gun is written from the perspective of an American seaman and brings to life the final year of the War of 1812, called the "forgotten war" by many, and the only time our country has been invaded by a foreign power. Seamlessly weaving fictitious characters into an historical narrative peopled with real people make this and the other two volumes of the War of 1812 Trilogy a fun and easy way to learn a bit of American history
