by 1813, the chesapeake had pretty much turned into a british lake. the real navy squadron, under the command of her admiral george cockburn had established domain over the water. was a veryburn effective officer, who served under nelson in the wars with france. he had been sent over here to pep things up her. he was a very capable officer, ruthless without being vicious. determinesuickly that the americans are not capable of providing much in the way of a real defense. start, he sees washington as being vulnerable. his quickly, as he spreads terror up and down the bay, he becomes not only the most feared man in america, but also the most hated. he is compared to a till of the han and satan -- attila the hun, and satan among others. who showsnyone resistance, can be expected to taken in chains to halifax. the chesapeake provided access to the richest and most important land in america at this time. certainly, in addition to being the home of the capital of washington dc, some of the most important cities like baltimore in norfolk were on the water, an

so these troops had made their way up the chesapeake bay raiding towns up and down the chesapeake bay, and then in august, they invaded washington, d.c. the army that we put up was not good. it might have been one of the most in our military history. the british just rolled through, and then what did they do? they burned washington. they burned the white house. they burned public buildings. francis scott key, by the way, was a guest -- adamantly against america getting into the war. he called it a lump of wickedness. he saw no purpose in it. the war hawks won out, and we went to war against england. he changed his mind -- i was about to say changed his tune, but maybe we'll talk about that later -- he changed his mind about the war when the british darted doing this rating up and down the chesapeake. things were getting a little too close for comfort, so he actually joined a militia unit, a militia artillery unit in georgetown, and he went out to around the chesapeake. he did not see any action. he came close. and he did not like being in the military, so he kind of hung up his unifor

they decided to do a company together and the company was called chesapeake energy. they named it after the chesapeake area in maryland mostly because mclendon liked it. it was pretty and he thought it wasn't really going to work. they didn't want to put their name on it in case the company didn't work so they put a name on it like chesapeake energy. for a number of years it was sort of they got excited about areas and they made a lot of money. they got too excited and they burrowed too much money and overproduced. the stock went up and down in a boom then crashed. it was exhausting for them and investors but around 2002 aubrey mcclendon and tom ward saw what was happening in the barnard area. again production kept rising. they were among the first to say do you know what let's make a huge bet on shale formation all over the country. let's try to lease out the land. this thing looks like it's for real. they went on this crazy land rush the likes of which a country has never seen. at one point chesapeake energy controlled at least the size of land equivalent to three

night, marched out to city port, got on these steamers, went down the james river, out into the chesapeake bay, up into baltimore harbor, they got off the ships, they marched to the railroad station, camden station, now camden yards where the baseball stadium is, and they arrived here at the monacacy junction at 1:00 in the morning on july 9th, 1864. union intelligence was not very good, but one man figured out through the intelligence and more or less what was happening, and that was lou wallace. now lou wallace was an interesting character and he was the other main character of this story. he was from indiana, he was from a prominent family. he did serve in the mexican war as a 19-year-old lieutenant, but he had no military experience other than that when the war started. he did have a unit in indiana before the war. those were those drill teams that dressed up in these colorful uniforms. they became the 11th indiana when the war started, he was their leader and he scored an early victory at romney, west virginia, right after first manassas when the union was looking for heros. and the u

prisoners at the point lookout prison camp, which was on the very tip of southern maryland in the chesapeake bay. and the fourth part of the plan, and i think the part that lee considered the most important, was to force grant to take troops outside of richmond and petersburg and to ease this chokehold that grant had on him. so in the early morning hours of july 13th, 12,000, an entire corps of troops, left the defenses of richmond, about a third of lee's troops. they marched 70 miles to charlottesville, virginia, got on a rickety old train and arrived in lynchburg on june 17th and june 18th came the battle of lynchburg, which didn't last very long, because hunter who wasn't one of the great union generals to say the least, fled once he saw early's troops. so hunter fled over the mountain into west virginia, what is now west virginia. early thought about chasing him, they didn't, but he took one look and saw the entire shenandoah valley was cleared of union troops. this is big. so early marched his men down the valley, north because of the way the river flows, so they began to march down the

any rain chances i think will be on the other side of the chesapeake bay. but by 7:00 a.m.row morning, clouds coming back in. there's a risk of a sprinkle first thing tomorrow morning, but i think legitimate rain chances are stacked up in the afternoon. shower and thundershower chances coming on through. doesn't look like much of a threat for severe weather. so that is welcomed news. but a couple of rumbles of >> well, i bring that up for a reason, right? >> that's right. >> why are you looking at me? >> yeah, your turn! >> you've seen it. countless people accepted the ice bucket challenge. but is it paying off? this morning we can tell you just how much money it's >>> it's all over the internet. the bucket challenge has taken the nation by storm as a way to raise donations and awareness for als. now this incredible cause has taken over the sports world. >> let me have it, boys. >> reporter: it's happening everywhere. the als ice bucket challenge. finally arrived at redskins park. >> i accept the ice bucket challenge by my 8-year-old daughter. >> jason garett. >> reporter:
