Summary
A young American woman, a witness to the Battle of Bladensburg, the burning of Washington, D.C., and the Battle of New Orleans, becomes emotionally involved with a British Army major fighting in those same battles.

And the fury and sadness that you feel, that is how the good people of York felt when your countrymen brought Hell to them and burned their city.
