Thank you for bringing some kindness to this discussion.
The next time you visit Baltimore, you might take a minute and stop by the municipal museum for some more details of this action. There is also a statue commemorating the action. The site you were kind enough to give us is a good summary, but does lack some detail.
The death of their General so demoralized and confused the British that they stoped their advance on the city, quite a prize lost.
