Offered in How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X is an extraordinary manuscript logbook kept by British Royal Navy midshipman Charles Robert Malden during the War of 1812. Among its pages is one of the only known eyewitness accounts of the bombardment of Fort McHenry in September 1814—the battle that inspired Francis Scott Key to write what would become The Star-Spangled Banner.

Documenting the British fleet's movements throughout the Chesapeake Campaign, the log provides a rare and remarkable perspective on a pivotal moment in American history. Presumably the only contemporary English account of the shelling ever to come to market, this manuscript stands as an exceptional historical survival.
