A Historic Sword and the Battle That Forged a Nation
The article recounts Captain Samuel Reid's defense of a ship at the Battle of Lake Borgne in 1814, known as the Thermopylae of the Ocean, where Reid and 90 men faced 2,000 British sailors and 136 guns. It notes the sword sent to Congress, Reid’s later fame as a designer of the U S flag, and the potential housing of these relics in a national museum.
