[edit] Date Discrepency

I found the following from the Harper's Encyclopedia of the United States History 458 A.D. to 1906[1]

Between midnight and dawn on Aug. 11 the invaders proceeded to the attack in eleven barges, each armed with a 6-pounder fieldpiece.

This wiki article states the date of the battle as August 10. Is Harper's wrong? Craigelliott 18:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two battles?

I just found http://www.visit1812.com/history/ which lists two battles in St. Michaels -- one in 1813 and one in 1814 -- both on the same day, August 10? Is this a coincidence or an error? --Craigelliott 18:58, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
