On Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 7:00 p.m., Patrick O'Neill will speak on The Battle of the White House. The year 2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, called, by many, America's second war for independence. The talk will focus on a battle that occurred between the burning of Washington and the attack on Fort McHenry. Mr. O'Neill will discuss the historical and battle maps he has had to create, in researching this important battle, because none were in existence. Patrick O'Neill is a historian based in Washington, D.C. He has written two books for the Images of America series, Mount Vernon, and Virginia's Presidential Homes. From 2009-2010, he served as President of the Archeological Society of Virginia.
