Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An Irish officer in the British Army, Major General Robert Ross (17661814) was a charismatic leader widely admired for his bravery in battle. Despite a military career that included distinguished service in Europe and North Africa, Ross is better known for his actions than his name: his 1814 campaign in the Chesapeake Bay resulted in the burning of the White House and Capitol and the unsuccessful assault on Baltimore, immortalized in The Star Spangled Banner. The Man Who Captured Washington is the first in-depth biography of this important but largely forgotten historical figure. Drawing from a broad range of sources, both British and American, military historians John McCavitt and Christopher T. George provide new insight into Rosss career prior to his famous exploits at Washington, D.C. Educated in Dublin, Ross joined the British Army in 1789, earning steady promotion as he gained combat experience. The authors portray him as an ambitious but humane commanding officer who fought bravely against Napoleons forces on battlefields in Holland, southern Italy, Egypt, and the Iberian Peninsula. Following the end of the war in Europe, while still recovering from a near-fatal wound, Ross was designated to lead an enterprise to America, and in August 1814 he led a small army to victory in the Battle of Bladensburg. From there his forces moved to the city of Washington, where they burned public buildings. In detailing this campaign, McCavitt and George clear up a number of misconceptions, including the claim that the British burned the entire city of Washington. Finally, the authors shed new light on the long-debated circumstances surrounding Rosss death on the eve of the Battle of North Point at Baltimore. Rosss campaign on the shores of the Chesapeake lasted less than a month, but its military and political impact was enormous. Considered an officer and a gentleman by many on both sides of the Atlantic, the general who captured Washington would in time fade in public memory. Yet, as McCavitt and George show, Rosss strategies and achievements during the final days of his career would shape American defense policy for decades to come.

Softcover. Condition: Like New. A catalog of works; about 30 pages. Kate McCavitt is an Asian informed Mixed Media Abstract Painter. Trained as a Sumie artist, often called ?Chinese Brush?, and self-taught in other mixed media genres, Kate lavishes all of her color-rich, surface-detailed, touchably-textured paintings with the subtleties of Asian tradition and a discipline of ?no shortcuts? Rich wash layers of transparent fluid acrylics build color and the isolation coats of gloss varnishes capture between them both the random events of experimental techniques, and iconic symbols from Zen circles and representational foil spheres hand embossed by the artist, to majestic mountains, deep reflective lakes and gold-leafed aspen and ancient Druidic oak trees. Her signature use of metallic gessos for outlining surface details, creates a cloisonné effect, informed by ancient techniques for compartmentalized (cloisons in French) enamel on metals. Signed by Author. …
