Contains two letters by Maj.-Gen. Brown to the Secretary of War, written shortly before the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, dated July 22 and July 25, 1814. Also contains a letter from L. Austin, A.D. Camp of Gen. Brown. The letter is dated at Buffalo, 29 July 1814, and gives an account of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, in which Gen. Brown was injured. The heading that precedes the letter is “Battle of Chippewa” [Chippawa], but the details and dates are consistent with the Battle of Lundy’s Lane. Also contains an article on page 3 about a British attack near Black Rock, followed by a siege on Fort Erie, taken from the Buffalo Gazette Extra of Aug. 3. A brief article on the capture of Gen. Riall during the Battle of Bridgewater (Lundy’s Lane) is included on page 3, with the heading “Singular circumstance”. Volumes of interest were published between 1812 and 1815 with articles about the War of 1812. The 1814 Aug. issues report events of the Battle of Chippewa.

A principle cause of the failure of the campaign on the Niagara Frontier in 1812 was the deficiency of subsistence for the troops; as quartermaster general, Thomas received much of the blame. His defense is offered here.

The original book contains minutes, accounts and other records dating 1812 to 1816 of the Loyal and Patriotic Society of Upper Canada formed at York, to alleviate distress in Upper Canada resulting from war with United States. The Loyal & Patriotic Society Index was transcribed and compiled by Fred Blair in 2019. As the names of the members of the society appear throughout this text, only the first page that their name appeared was recorded here, with a few additional pages. The remainder of the names generally fall into the categories of petitioners or subscribers. The spelling of surnames was not consistent throughout the text and first names were often omitted. A person may therefore have been recorded here more than once. The dates of wounds and deaths sometimes do not agree with those in other sources. The transcriber’s comments appear in square brackets.
