  1. A newly discovered map of the War of 1812 Battle of Craney Island

    Unlike the Civil War, the War of 1812 in Hampton Roads left such a dearth of artifacts and records that it's been tough finding ways to illustrate what are some pretty dramatic but strangely invisible stories.

  2. Discovering Hampton Roads' forgotten war

    In a place that has been fought over for as long and as many times as Hampton Roads, you should probably expect a few stray raids or battles to fall off the radar.

  3. A British trophy from the 1813 sack of Hampton

    Among the most evocative artifacts I've seen while preparing an upcoming series of stories on Hampton Roads and the War of 1812 is a rifle left behind by an American sharpshooter fleeing the field of a hopeless battle.

  5. McHenry: A slice of relaxed life

    Driving north toward Wisconsin, McHenry says you are almost there. But it is more than the roadside sunglasses hut and signs offering wintertime boat storage — it's the Wisconsin-like essence.

  6. Colts expect passion from Baltimore fans on Sunday

    For most of the callow Colts, the history of the Colts’ move from Baltimore to Indianapolis might as well be as distant and foreign as the publication of the Magna Carta and the War of 1812.

    For most of the callow Colts, the history of the Colts’ move from Baltimore to Indianapolis might as well be as distant and foreign as the publication of the Magna Carta and the War of 1812. “I wasn’t even born then,’’...

  7. Fort McHenry and the banner that still waves

    After reading this week's criticism of how the National Park Service and the Fort McHenry administration have been dealing with the constraints of sequestration, I would remind critics that despite the site's obvious attraction to runners, walkers and others, Fort McHenry is not primarily a recreational site ("Fort McHenry bungles the sequester," June 5).

  8. Historical Society explores scandalous legacy of Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte

    The small wooden trunk is covered with red leather, painted with an ocher floral embroidery and studded with brass nails — and it couldn't have announced its owner's intention more clearly.

  9. Philipp Meyer on "The Son"

    In "The Son," Philipp Meyer's sprawling multigenerational saga about a powerful Texas family, the author harvests the state's sad, passionate, often violent history, from its origins as an embattled republic to its present-day condition as an arid landscape sucked dry, literally, by a century of environmentally disastrous cattle ranching and irrigation-based agriculture. Along the way, Meyer — author of the critically acclaimed "American Rust" (2009) — tells the stories of the state's white settlers and their near-constant clashes with Native Americans and Mexicans, including now almost forgotten massacres of Mexican-Americans by Texas Rangers and others along the border in the early 20th century.

  11. Amistad Exhibit Marks Emancipation Anniversary

    On Jan. 1, 1863, when the Emancipation Proclamation was declared by President Lincoln, the majority of freed slaves didn't know how to read. Attempts to spread the word by traditional means — newspapers, handbills, posters — would go a long way, if the freed slaves could find a friendly, literate person to read it for them. But what of the others?
