Smaller redoubts such as Fort Covington and Babcock were built further up the Middle Branch of the Patapsco River to support Fort McHenry. Hampstead Hill (now Patterson Park) also was fortified. The Committee of Vigilance and Safety, headed by Mayor Edward Johnson, was the coordinating and planning unit for the defense of Baltimore, including the equipping and supporting of the militia. Major General Samuel Smith, the commanding officer of the Maryland Militia, worked closely with this committee in coordinating and planning the defense of the city.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color:#000000;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Georgia";font-style:normal\">In August 1814 Washington, D.C. was invaded and burned by British troops and on September 12th the British landed at North Point at the mouth of the Patapsco River. An American force, made up of Maryland and Pennsylvania militia, sailed from Baltimore and under General John Strieker engaged the British force in a two hour stalemate and retreated to Baltimore. On September 13th the British advanced on Baltimore and shelled Fort McHenry with cannon fire, bombs, and rockets in an attempt to weaken the city's defences for a land attack. A night landing was attempted below Fort McHenry but was repelled by heavy fire. The harbor was shallow (ships were also deliberately sunk in the harbor of the city) and the larger British ships were unable to maneuver close to the city to cover a land assault. After the attack Baltimore continued strengthening its defenses, repairing damage to Fort McHenry and other fortifications.</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight:400;font-family:"Georgia"\">A helpful study concerning the municipal government's involvement is</span> <span style=\"-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;color:#1155cc;font-weight:400;text-decoration:underline;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;font-family:"Georgia"\">[https://www.google.com/url?q=http://mdhs.msa.maryland.gov/pages/Viewer.aspx?speccol%3D5881%26Series%3D1%26Item%3D263&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1648873086709239&usg=AOvVaw3SKzVymyNgR9HY63O3S-nv \u00a0Frank A.

According to Wikipedia, Dr. Dorsey became an academic dean of Goucher in 1968. In 1973, she succeeded Marvin Banks Perry, Jr. as the acting president. The next year, she was appointed as Goucher College's eighth president, becoming the institution's first woman to serve in this position. She presided over Goucher College in 1986 when its board of trustees voted to allow men to attend the college.<sup>[2]\n\n\nRhoda Dorsey was also a historian of commerce writing her 1956 University of Minnesota dissertation on the resumption of Anglo-American Trade after the American Revolution. When she came to Baltimore to teach at Goucher she continued her interest in the resumption of trade in Baltimore, carefully reviewing the surviving port records, including investing in the National Archives microfilm of Baltimore\u2019s customs records. <sup>[3]\n\n\nHer two published articles on Baltimore\u2019s trade following the Revolution preface a digital edition of the port records she acquired on microfilm at her own expense which are linked here as a tribute to her scholarship and her memory for others to explore.<sup>[4]\n\n\n:::NOTES:\n\n::::[1] https://www.newspapers.com/clip/24611307/rhoda-dorsey-history-professor/\n\n::::[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoda_Dorsey\n\n::::[3] Dorsey, Rhoda Mary.
