What Happen to Major General Robert Ross?

Happy  200th  Anniversary 

of the 

Star Spangled Banner!






The British general who burned Washington, Major General Robert Ross, was himself killed by two 14-year old sharpshooters with the 3rd Maryland militia Brigade at North Point as he led troops against Baltimore. Sadly, the two boys themselves did not survive the battle, but were immortalized in the Battle Monument in Baltimore
