To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
General Winder, the American ofiicer in question, testified that after a short struggle "not a vestige remained of the army," and that all except the 400 brave regulars had beaten a hasty retreat. The victors lost sixty-four killed and 185 wounded, and the vanquished lost ten or twelve killed and forty wounded. The invaders burnt the Capitol and the Executive Mansion. The London Times contained a few weeks later an edi- torial saying that ** Washington, the nest of vipers. ** Where There Is No ...Vision'' 103 was at last destroyed." That was a few days before the Star Spangled Banner was written. Americans can be proud that a small number of unseasoned militia did save Baltimore on that occasion, but is it not the part of wisdom to teach the American youth that while the flag on Fort McHenry did continue to wave, yet that mxilitary unpreparedness had nearly brought the United States to ruin? In the Revolutionary War there were 395,000 enlistments, and yet Washington never had an army of more than 17,000 men to command, and that only at the beginning, and at one time only 3,000 men remained to serve.
