Notes: Joshua Barney (1758-1818) was a naval hero in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Aside from his military exploits, this patriotic Marylander's life is closely associated with the history of the American flag.

Alone among the Americans at the battle, Barney and his men fought bravely against a superior British force.
