Yeah, I listened to part of it on the radio. Like 'you are there' by CBS. |

Not again, Did they ever build another replacement Whitehouse? Or did they learn a lesson from 1814? |

It was a nice report. I liked that one reorted said she was imbedded with the British army. |

One sidelight. The evening the fire was started in Washington a huge storm came through Washington (with tornado) and put out the fires. The tornado killed a few British soldiers. Suposedly the executive mansion was repaired and painted white to cover up the burn damage (i.e. Whitehouse) |

Interesting drama, but it was a bit disappointing as history. |

I'm pretty sure those were Canadian troops, not British. |

W-There were no Canadian troops in the Chesapeake campaign, or maybe I am misunderstanding. |

No Canadians, all Peninsula veterans. In spite of what Canadians like to think. |

Most of the reenactors on Saturday were Canadians. The actual participants were mostly veterans of the Peninsula. |
