Synopsis Report on Desecration of American Flag; Sons of the Revolution, Connecticut by : Henry Baldwin
Excerpt from Report on Desecration of American Flag; Sons of the Revolution, Connecticut: A Report Read at the Annual Meeting of the Sons of the Revolution, December 8, 1896 The second name worthy of record in connection with the American Flag is that of Captain Samuel Chester Reid, who was born at Norwich, Conn., August 25, 1783. He went to sea at the early age of eleven years, and was captured by a French privateer, and for six months was a prisoner at Basseterre. On his release he became an active midshipman on board the United States ship, Baltimore, of Commodore Truxtun's fleet in the West Indies. On the breaking out of the War of 1812, he commanded the privateer Gen. Armstrong, with which he fought one of the most remarkable naval battles on record in the port of Fayal on September 26 and 27, 1814. His force was 7 guns and 90 men. He was attacked by the boats of the Plantagenet, 74 guns; the Rota, 44 guns, and the Carnation, 18 guns. Reid succeeded in thoroughly disabling and defeating the enemy, and finally scuttled his own vessel to prevent her capture. Reid's loss was two killed and seven wounded. This attack in a neutral port led to diplomatic correspondence, but the arbitration of Louis Napoleon decided against the Americans. The effect of this action undoubtedly gave Gen. Jackson the victory at New Orleans, for the British fleet was on its way to reinforce the British forces operating against that city. Capt. Reid was appointed a sailing master in the United States Navy and served in that capacity until his death. He was warden of the port of New York, and he invented the signal telegraph which was set up at Sandy Hook, the Narrows, and the Battery and he regulated and num bered the pilot boats running out of New York.

Synopsis Desecrating the American Flag by : Robert Justin Goldstein
Desecrating the American Flag is the only comprehensive, edited, and annotated collection of critical documents regarding the controversies swirling around the desecration of the American flag. Should violators of the Stars and Stripes be prosecuted? Or legally protected? This issue reached center stage in American politics throughout the 1990s when Congress debated whether or not to amend the constitution to forbid flag desecration; but this debate has been hotly contested since the Civil War. Robert Justin Goldstein brings together almost 150 key documents spanning more than 100 years. He culls from a variety of sources—Congressional hearings, debates, legal briefs, oral arguments, newspaper articles, and court rulings, for example—and then carefully edits each document to retain key material. Introductory essays place each document within a broader historical, political, and legal context.
