"Explains the reasons surrounding the War of 1812, describes the significant events before and after the burning of Washington, D.C., profiles Dolley and James Madison, and includes a short fictitious story of a slave girl caught in the war. "Washington is Burning! The War of 1812" contains archival drawings, maps, and colored paintings. It also includes bolded vocabulary words with a glossary and an index.
