Washington Blues

The Washington Blues were a company of Maryland Volunteers which saw action during the Battle of Bladensberg and the Battle of North Point, during the War of 1812.
==History==

When war broke out between the United States and Great Britain, George H. Steuart (then Captain Steuart) raised a company of Maryland volunteers, known as the Washington Blues,〔(''Register of the Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States'', National Commandery (1900) ) Retrieved Jan 14 2010〕 part of the 5th Maryland Regiment〔(''Register of the Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States'', p.101, National Commandery (1900) ) Retrieved Jan 14 2010〕 commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Sterett.〔(Hickman, Nathaniel, p.100, ''The citizen soldiers at North Point and Fort McHenry, September 12 & 13 1814'', published by James Young,(1889) ) Retrieved Jan 14 2010〕 They saw action at the Battle of Bladensberg (August 24, 1814),〔(''The British Invasion of Maryland, 1812-1815'' by William Matthew Marine ) Retrieved Jan 14 2010〕 where the Americans, including the 5th Regiment, were routed by the British. Although the 5th had "evinced a disposition to make a gallant resistance", it was flanked by the redcoats and forced to retreat in some disorder.〔(''History of the Late War between the United States and Great Britain'' By Henry Marie Brackenridge, p.249, Philadelphia (1836). ) Retrieved Jan 15 2010〕 After the battle, British forces entered Washington DC and burned the city.
Steuart's company fought better at the Battle of North Point (September 12, 1814),〔(The Huntingdon Library Quarterly, Volume 12 (1949). ) Retrieved Jan 13 2010〕 where the militia were able to hold the line for several hours before making a fighting retreat, and where Steuart was wounded.〔(''American Quarterly Review, Issues 35-36, by Robert Walsh, p.495 (1835) ) Retrieved Jan 15 2010〕 Some of the militia regiments, such as the 51st, and some members of 39th, broke and ran under fire, but the 5th and 27th held their ground and were able to retreat in reasonably good order having inflicted significant casualties on the advancing enemy.〔George, p.143〕 Corporal John McHenry of the 5th Regiment wrote an account of the battle:
:"Our Regiment, the 5th, carried off the praise from the other regiments engaged, so did the company to which I have the honor to belong cover itself with glory. When compared to the () Regiments we were the last that left the ground...had our Regiment not retreated at the time it did we should have been cut off in two minutes."〔George, p.143〕
