Fort McHenry - birthplace of "The Star-Spangled Banner." That much everyone knows. But this book begins with the earliest days of Fort McHenry's site, before Revolutionary times when it was valued more for its iron ore than its strategic location, and continues through its history as a general hospital during World War I and a prison during the Civil War. In 1915 it was the site of a public beach which innovated the idea of allowing men and women to be in the water at the same time. And of course, the bombardment during the War of 1812.
