Hero of Fort McHenry Captain Robinson's Baltimore Tale
General John G. Robinson recalls the 1814 Fort McHenry defense amid Baltimore mob violence in April 1861. He rejected Maryland militia aid, fortified the fort with bombs and a mortar, and used bluff to deter attackers while warning the city of potential fire if order failed. The account contrasts Union loyalty with secessionist sentiment in Baltimore and highlights strategic water access for federal troops.
