Two days ago, we got home from visiting the Baltimore/DC area. Our flight and hotel were in Baltimore but we mostly went to go to DC. We didn't get to do much sight seeing in Baltimore because it was raining but that just gives us a reason to go back. After all, where we were in Baltimore was only about 16 miles away from the famous Fort McHenry, which you will hear about in today's story. Today's story comes to us from the book "Great Cities in the United States" written by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth and Stephen Elliott Kramer.   Website: http://www.thefightingmoose.com/   iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fighting-moose/id1324413606?mt=2/   Story (PDF): http://ww.thefightingmoose.com/episode134.pdf   DataUSA – Baltimore Statistics https://datausa.io/profile/geo/baltimore-md/   Reading List: http://www.thefightingmoose.com/readinglist.pdf   YouTube: https://youtu.be/OXx25KTqQVI/   Book: “Great Cities of the United States” http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/44854   Music/Audio: Artist – Analog by Nature http://dig.ccmixter.org/people/cdk   National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA): http://www.nasa.gov   Songs Used: Like Music (cdk Mix) by Analog By Nature (c) copyright 2015 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/cdk/48915 Ft: Phasenwandler
