Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Views on Lake Erie, Comprising a Minute and Interesting Account of the Conflict on Lake Erie Military Anecdotes Abuses in the Army Plan of a Military Settlement View of the Lake Coast From Buffalo to Detroit Commodore Perry arrived at Erie in June, with five small vessels from Black Rock. - The Queen Charlotte and Lady Prevost, were cruising off Long Point to intercept him - he passed them in the night unperceived. The Lawrence and Niagara were then on the stocks - every exertion was made to expedite their building and equipment, and early in August they were ready to sail. But is was necessary to pass the bar at the entrance of the harbor, over which there was but six feet water, and the brigs drew nine. The British fleet appeared off the harbor, for the purpose of preventing our´s from going to lake! - The means employed by our officers to take the brigs over the bar, were ingenious and deserves mention.
