The Boston Gazette, Vol. 4 No. 25- September 14, 1815

Abstract

14 September 1815. Contains an account of a battle under the headline “Battle of Chippawa”, given by Captain McDonald on March 14, 1815, before the Military Court of Inquiry at Troy. The dates given in the account are not consistent with the Battle of Chippawa, and likely refer to the Battle of Lundy’s Lane (Bridgewater) instead. It is stated that “this court of enquiry was granted at the request of Gen. Ripley, who was stung into dissatisfaction by a despatch from Gen. Brown, relative to the sequel of the action at Bridgewater”.
