+Explanatory Note
+
+
+_The book containing this journal is an ordinary pocket memorandum or
+account book measuring 6 x 4¼ inches and covered with split calf. The
+journal opens the day of the author's capture, and closes on the day he
+receives orders at Quebec to prepare to leave for Boston. The author's
+name is nowhere to be found in the book, and several pages at the
+beginning have been cut out, evidently by the original owner. The
+journal was found among the papers of the late J. Gradden, a benevolent
+merchant of Quebec who rendered considerable aid to the American
+prisoners of war confined there on prison ships. The journal was no
+doubt presented to Mr. Gradden by its author as a return for kindnesses.
+Mr. Gradden's son, the late Chas. Gradden of Kilmarnock, gave it to Sir
+James M. LeMoine, the venerable Historian of Quebec, who in turn
+presented it to me with the understanding that I would edit and print
+it._
+
+_Although the author's name is not attached to the journal it bears
+unmistakable evidence of having been written by Surgeon's Mate James
+Reynolds who was deputed by Surgeon General Edwards of Gen. Hull's army
+to the charge of the sick on the two vessels that were dispatched from
+Maumee to Detroit, but which were captured at Fort Malden (Amherstburg)
+by the British. Lossing, in his "Pictorial Field Book of the war of
+1812" says that the schooner conveying the sick in charge of Reynolds
+escaped and reached Detroit, and that the Dr. Reynolds of this
+expedition was killed at the attack on Detroit by a cannon ball. There
+is a mistake somewhere as the author of this journal says that HE was in
+charge of the Cuyahoga conveying the sick, and that the accompanying
+schooner carried the stores, and that both vessels were captured at
+Malden. Could it be that there were two Reynolds, one the Surgeon's Mate
+and the other the Dr. Reynolds that Lossing refers to as having been
+killed, and hence the confusion? I am inclined to this view in the
+absence of convincing proof to the contrary. The journal itself is
+strongly corroborative of my contention as the weight of evidence is
+with the writer whose story is everywhere the simple straightforward one
+of the daily chronicler of the events that came under his observation.
+It is a very human document and not without historical value. It will
+take its place in the Archives of the war of 1812 on the Frontiers._

+
+Historical Note
+
+
+_Anticipating the formal declaration of war President Madison of the
+United States during the winter of 1811-12 commissioned Gov. Wm. Hull of
+the Territory of Michigan as a Brigadier General to command the Ohio and
+Michigan troops at Detroit, with the understanding that immediately upon
+the announcement of war he was to invade all that part of Canada
+contiguous to Detroit. On June 24th, 1812, Gen. Hull with several
+thousand troops had arrived at Fort Findlay. Here he received despatches
+from Washington to hasten his forces to Detroit and there await further
+orders. When the troops arrived at the navigable waters on the Maumee
+(or Miami) Hull determined to relieve his tired men of as much baggage
+as possible by dispatching it by water. Accordingly a considerable
+portion of the stores and intrenching tools, Hull's and his staff's
+personal baggage, and the trunk containing Hull's instructions and the
+muster rolls of the army together with other valuable papers--also three
+officers' wives, Lt. Goodwin, Lieut. Dent with thirty soldiers were
+transferred to the Cuyahoga packet and an auxiliary schooner. Both
+reached Maumee Bay where Toledo now stands on the evening of July 1st.
+On the morning of the 2nd of July the Cuyahoga and the schooner entered
+the Detroit River and while sailing past Fort Malden (Amherstburg) the
+British armed vessel Hunter went alongside of the Cuyahoga, and vessel
+and cargo became a prize, while the crew, troops and passengers were
+declared prisoners of war. Lossing says that the auxiliary schooner
+bearing the invalids, being behind the Cuyahoga, escaped and reached
+Detroit next day. The author of the journal says that this auxiliary
+vessel which contained only the stores was also captured later in the
+day and brought in under the guns of Fort Malden. Col. St. George, the
+commander at Fort Malden, had received the news of the declaration of
+war on the 30th of June, while Gen. Hull only received it on the 2nd of
+July when he immediately despatched an officer to the mouth of the
+Raisen to intercept the two vessels, but he arrived too late. In the
+capture of these two vessels valuable stores and yet more valuable
+information fell into the hands of the British. The journal of the
+Surgeon's Mate begins July 1st and some of the events that lead to the
+final surrender of Detroit and the forces under Gen. Hull's command are
+recorded in the journal from such observations as were possible to a
+prisoner on a vessel, and from stray information. The journey from
+Malden to Quebec is recounted and the subsequent imprisonment there on a
+ship in the harbor until he with others were sent to Boston for
+exchange._

+Journal of an American Prisoner
+
+at Fort Malden and Quebec in the War of 1812
+
+
+July 1st (1812).--After a long and tedious march I with the sick, went
+on board the Caryaorgo[1] packet at Maume, a little town on the Maume
+River[2]. Doctor Edwards Surgeon General of the North Wertern Army gave
+me charge of the Hospital stores and sick to go by water to Detroit. We
+sailed about 4 p.m. and had a gentle breeze the afternoon. At sunset the
+wind died away and we ancored for the night[3] and about 4 o'clock in
+the morning the wind rose and we weighed ancor and with a fair wind
+entered Lake Erie all in to good spirits to think we should be at
+Detroit by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. To our surprise just as we were
+about to enter Detroit River we saw a boat that hailed us and ordered
+the Captain to lower his sails[4]. Our arms were all in the hole (hold)
+and the men sick. I thought it improper to make any resistance as I had
+not been informed that war was declared[5] and had not had orders from
+the Genl. to make any resistence. Lt. Goodwin and 2nd Master Beatt and
+Mr. Dent paymaster to the 3rd Regt. Ohio Vlts. and three ladies and two
+soldiers wifes making in the whole forty-five in number and not more
+than six well persons among them it must have been imprudent in the
+highest degree to have attempted to resisted a boat of eight well armed
+men and a Capt., and another of 5 men who demanded us as prisoners of
+war and we were nearly under the cover of the guns at Ft. Malden, soever
+we gave ourselves up and was taken into Malden and our property was all
+stored in the hole (hold) and hatches nailed immediately and we were
+taken alongside a prison ship. The next morning about X o'clock our
+Schooner was[6] taken and all our effects even to a blanket. The Doctor
+came on board to see some of the sick and I asked him for knapsacks and
+blankets for the men which were returned immediately and the cloths of
+the officers and men on board.
+
+3rd.--The day past with Mallone holey (wholly) the men sick and despond,
+nothing pleasing appeard.
+
+4th.--We were surrounded with Savages singing and dancing their war
+dances through the town[7]. O heavens what a glory Sun for independence
+can any person discribe the feeling of a free born subject to see the
+Savages dancing their war dance and hooting about the town and to be
+confined when we knew they were preparing (to) murder our fellow
+creatures and not only the soldiers but the helpless women and children.
+These horrible and dispicable seens closed the day and Sol returned to
+his rest.
+
+5th.--Some gentlemen[8] from our (side) came from Detroit with a flag of
+truce and brought news that our army had arrived their safe and that the
+men were in tolerable health and spirits but we could not see them
+without a British being present. We sent some papers to Detroit after
+having them examined (by) an officer (of) the Part we would expect for
+prisoners[9].
+
+6th.--We were provided with tolerable rations, and nothing happened
+through the day.
+
+7th.--Nothing especial happened through the day, but all the (men) were
+making preparations for war.
+
+9th.--Know news for prisoners.
+
+X.--Nothing extra happened in the course of the day.
+
+10th.--We were moved below town. Dr. Davis attends on our sick daily.
+The weather verry warm and the men suffer much from the heat.
+
+11th.--We had a very warm day in the afternoon. The officers and Indians
+were verry busy, however we heard nothing[10]
+
+12th.--Sunday. The American troops crossed the river into Sandwich and
+divested the people of their arms and sent them to their farms.
+
+13th.--Monday. Pleasant and cool. Nothing extra happened.
+
+14th.--Tuesday. Nothing worthy of notice.
+
+15th.--Wensday, healthy weather. People was moving very much in town and
+considerable blustor.
+
+16th.--Thursday. Pleasant and cool. Capt. Brown[11] came to town with a
+flag of truce on and (what) express news we knew not, but could judge by
+the movements. Two topsail vessels were sent out of the river and the
+people were moving out of the town at night.
+
+17th.--Friday. The Indians[12] were flocking into town all the morning
+armed and painted black. A lousifer with their arms and the town was in
+an uproar. It appeared by ten o'clock that almost every person had left
+the town. About five o'clock the Savages began to return into town
+hollowing and barekin and firing all around our vessell, and to crown
+the whole they had one of our men's scalp stretched on a pole as they
+past by us to aggrevate us in a helpless state and wound the feelings of
+prisoners. These Indians[13] were headed by a british subject. Is it
+possible that their can be so much corruption in the British Government.
+They are void of feelings and in fact are as bad as the savages
+themselves for they carry on their intrigues under the pretence that
+they cannot govern the Indians, and in fact they themselves are
+personally at their head and give them their instructions. God deliver
+me from monarch's gag laws and all their subjects[14] for free I was
+born and free I'll die or by the sword shall we live like bruts and
+worse, glory in each other's fall and more than that confine our fellow
+creatures and tantalize them by the blood of our fellow mortals. What
+will man do when left to himself. But thanks be to God this (is) about
+the last act of bravery you can show you are on your last legs. The
+crown will loose another jewil and savage yell dispersed and harmony
+fill the land. The eagle here shall build her nest and every subject
+shall be at peice[15].
+
+18th.--Pleasant. All things peceable through (the) day. About X o'clock
+in the evening their was an alarm[16] and the prisoners, sick and well,
+were all ordered in to the hole (hold) together and what a disagreeable
+(night) it was to have forty men half sick all stowed together and some
+had to stand all night.
+
+19th.--Sunday. Warm and muggy weather. Their was considerable movement,
+the Indians again past armed and about 2 p.m. we heard firing towards
+Sandwich[17]. The Savages returned about dark in not so good spirits as
+usual and this led us to suppose their success had not been so good as
+they could wish. About 8 in the evening their came a party (of) Savages
+by and fired several times near us and struck up their war hoop.
+
+20th.--Monday. To day the Indians past by armed as usual, they returned
+about sunset some verry much fatigued. We were informed that the Indians

+Brownstown with Britishs and officers.
+

+tell their business.
+
+4th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. The troops and Indians crossed the river as
+yestirday and returned about eight o'clock in the evening.
+
+5th.--Wensday[21]. Plesent. The Indians crossed the river about 11
+o'clock and the people appeared very much allarmed. A party of them
+returned about sunset but the boats had few in them. Their was six guns
+fired about 11 o'clock at Browns Town.
+
+6th.--Thursday. Pleasant. Nothing in particular.
+
+7th.--Friday. Pleasant. Capt. Olds and Ensign Elison came on board and

+themselves.

+about fifty or sixty[22]. Nothing further worth recording.
+
+No news from the army.

+9th.--Sunday[23]. The little brig. Hunter ret'd this morning from Fort
+Erie. The people seemed to be in considerable motion about tewlve
+o'clock and we heard about sunset that their was an engagement on the
+other side of the river. Considerable motion in the evening.
+
+10th.--Monday. Rainy in the morning. We herd in the morning that they
+had a hard battle at Browns Town and the Americans mentained their
+ground. Several killed and wounded on both sides. We were likewise
+informed that they intended to have another battle this day[24].
+
+11th.--Continued showers of rain. About 5 o'clock we herd a continual
+firing near Browns Town which continued about one hour and a half and
+from the nois the American army drove the Indians and British[25]. The
+Schooner Chipoway came from Lk. Erie with one company of red coats.

+the new soldiers all appeared to leave the town about sunset.
+
+15th.--Saterday. Foggy. The drums beat to arms about sunrise and the
+troops were all in motion or at least all that were left. The citizens
+all entered boats for Detroit, as I am told. The Indians went by in
+boats. By land about 300. About sunset the Cannon began to roar at
+Sandwich[28].
+
+16th.--Sunday. Pleasant weather but unpleasant news we herd about noon
+that Hull had given up Detroit and the whole Territory Mitchigan. The
+Indians began to return about sunset well mounted and some with horses
+and chais. Who can express the feelings of a person who knows that Hull
+had men enough to have this place three times and gave up his post.
+Shame to him, shame to his country, shame to the world. When Hull first
+came to Detroit the 4th U. S. Regt. would have taken Malden and he with
+his great generalship has lost about 200 men and his Territory[29].
+
+Can he be forgiven when he had command of an army of about 2500 men
+besides the Regulars and Militia of his Territory and given up to about
+400 regular troops and Militia and about 700 Indians.
+
+17th.--Monday. Clouday. The news of yesterday was confirmed. The Indians
+were riding our horses and hollowing and shouting the whole day.
+
+18th.--The Provo Marshal[30] came on board and wanted a list of the
+Regular Troops, and told us that the Regular Troops[31] were prisoners
+of war and the militia had liberty to go home. We were taken from the
+Schooner Thames and put into a little Schooner but every attention paid
+us that was possible. In the evening we were ordered on board the
+Elinor. Their was a detachment of prisoners joined us.
+
+19th.--Wensday. Pleasant. I got provisions and medicines on board. The
+other vessels came from Detroit. Nothing extraordinary through the day.
+
+20th.--Thursday. Rainy. Unpleasant on board. The militia left the river.
+
+21st.--Friday. We drifted out of the river into the Lake. Capt. Brown
+and Ensign Phillips came on board.

+lay to for the Sharlott[32], and about 12 o'clock we came to ancor.

+dangerous. The wounded are in a good way. About sunset the wind rose and

+27th.--Thursday. Pleasant. We proceeded on our march from Chippawa to
+Fort George[34]. We pased through Queenstown and opposite to the town
+was two or three hundred American Troops was stationed. We past by
+Niagary Falls. We arrived at Fort George about 5 o'clock p.m. and stayed
+in the river all night and we are very much crowded.
+
+28th.--Friday. Pleasant. We had a fair wind for King's Town (Kingston)
+which was our next place of destination. We weighed ancor about 2
+o'clock and had pleasant sail through the day and night.
+
+29th.--Saterday.--Pleasant. We hove in sight of King's Town (Kingston)
+about 7 o'clock a.m. Cast ancor about 9 o'clock and was landed on an
+Island near Kingston. About 5 p.m. I was ordered to take charge of the
+sick and wounded.
+
+30th.--Sunday. Pleasant but cool for the season. The sick were visited
+by the Doctor about eleven o'clock. Three of the sick were taken to
+Kingston hospital, the other 40 sick and wounded were left in my charge.
+
+31st.--Monday. Pleasant. A detachment of 400 men arrived here from
+Montreal for Detroit. 2 men deserted last evening. The sick are better.
+The officers treat us very kindly and we are well provided for for
+people in our situation.
+
+Sept. 1st.--Tuesday. Pleasant. We left Kingston[35] about 4 o'clock p.m.
+for Montreal. We went 18 miles in the evening.

+Thousand Islands and our first stop Elizabeth Town on the St. Lawrence
+opposite. After staying about half an hour we proceeded down the river.

+troops stationed on the bank of the river at Sagrota and stopped at
+Johns Town.

+Lachein and the well men were marched to Montreal by land. The sick went
+in boats by water where we arrived about 7 in the evening and was
+marched to the Garrison[37].
+
+7th.--Monday. Pleasant. We stayed at the Garrison through the day and
+four of the sick sent to the King's Hospital which reduced my number to
+about 30.
+
+8th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. We left Montreal[38] about 10 A.M. and
+descended the St. Lawrence. We had a pleasant prospect on both sides of
+the river handsome meadows and fine farms and several handsome towns. We
+stopped at Sorril (Sorel) and were marched from the boats to a room
+where we were all put into a room together and locked up and not a man
+allowed to get a drink of water nor allowed to leave the room on any
+occasion. The men were obliged to comply with natures requests in the
+room where we all lay, and we suffered verry much all knight.

+worms, in fact our fare is hard and unwholesome, half the men sick with
+the diarrie. No news of any better times.
+
+15th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. I gave five men emetic and 3 carthartic. Our
+provisions better than yesterday. No news, the men are something better.
+
+16th.--Wensday. Pleasant. Our sick were taken from our vessel. We had

+is called banyan day. The surgeon came on board our vessel and ordered
+men and me on bord the brig 160 transport.
+
+17th.--Thursday. Pleasant. I proceeded to give the men medicine and gave
+them gruel and they appeared verry much better at night. We had twelve

+schooner was also captured and it was this schooner that contained the

+in command at Fort Malden as early as June 30th, 1812._

+
+[10] _On the 12th Hull crossed his army to Sandwich of which he took
+possession. The few British troops stationed here retired to Fort
+Malden. Col. Miller of the American army in a letter to his wife says:
+"As we were crossing the river we saw two British officers ride up very
+fast opposite where we intended landing, but they went back faster than
+they came. They were Col. St. George, commanding officer at Malden, and
+one of his Captains."_
+
+[11] _Probably sent by Gen. Hull to announce to Col. St. George of his
+(Gen. Hull's) intention to attack Fort Malden and to advise the removal
+from the town of the non-combatants._
+
+[12] _There were frequent and small engagements between the American
+outposts and the Indians on the British side. Scalping the dead was
+practised by both Indian and the frontiers men on both sides._
+
+[13] _The Indians were almost invariably commanded or led by their own
+chiefs, but oft'times under the direction of an English officer._
+
+[14] _On the 16th Col. Cass of the American Army with a force of about
+280 men pushed forward to the Ta-ron-tee or Riviere aux Canards about
+four miles above Malden and engaged the British outpost guarding the
+bridge across the river. The British and Indians fled and were pursued
+by the Americans. Night put an end to the engagement and the Americans
+returned to the bridge. Hull however retired the force to Sandwich as he
+said the position was untenable with so small a force._
+
+[15] _The author somewhat mixes himself in his rhapsody._
+
+[16] _On the 18th Capt. Snelling of the American Army and a small
+detachment left Sandwich on a reconnoitring expedition towards Malden._
+
+[17] _On the 18th July Gen. Hull issued an order for a general movement
+on Fort Malden. Col. McArthur with a detachment of his regiment joined
+Capt. Snelling on the 19th at Petite Cote about a mile above the Aux
+Canards Bridge. A general skirmish ensued with the Indians under command
+of Tecumseh and McArthur was compelled to fall back. He sent for
+reinforcements and Col. Cass hastened to his aid with a six pounder, but
+after another short engagement with the Indians and the English supports
+that had been hastened to their assistance the American forces returned
+to Sandwich._
+
+[18] _For some reason or other Reynolds makes no mention here of the
+engagement of the 24th, when Major Denny and a considerable force of
+Americans were engaged with some Indians and retreated in considerable
+confusion pursued by the Indians. Denny lost six killed and two wounded.
+This was the first blood shed in the war._
+
+[19] _The captive American officers are probably meant._
+
+[20] _Col. Proctor who now commanded at Amherstburg or Malden detached
+the Indians under Tecumseh across the Detroit River to intercept a
+convoy that Major VanHorne and a force of Americans had been sent to
+safely conduct within the American lines._
+
+[21] _On this day the Indians under Tecumseh badly defeated Major
+VanHorne's force of Americans near Brownstown and the latter retreated
+in great disorder. The mail fell into the hands of the British and
+revealed the mutinous spirit in Hull's army. In this engagement
+seventeen of the Americans were killed and eight wounded._

+Americans defeated the British and Indians and drove them to their boats
+whence they returned to Malden. The advantages of this victory were not
+followed up for the relief of Brush on his way to Detroit with a convoy
+of supplies for Hull's army._
+
+[24] _Skirmishing occurred for several days after the main engagement of
+the 10th._
+
+[25] _Major Muir and his subaltern Sutherland of the British forces were
+both wounded. The losses and casualties on the American side were very
+heavy._
+
+[26] _Gen. Brock joined Col. Proctor at Malden (Amherstburg) on the
+night of the 13th with three hundred militia and a few regulars._
+
+[27] _Gen. Brock marched that day with the forces under his command and
+took possession of Sandwich which had been abandoned by the Americans._
+
+[28] _About 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th, a general
+cannonading began between the British at Sandwich and the Americans at
+Detroit. Considerable damage was done by the British artillery and
+several American officers were killed. Two guns on the British side were
+silenced by the American artillerists._
+
+[29] _During the night the British forces crossed to the Detroit side of
+the river and prepared for an assault on the town. The guns at Sandwich
+opening a heavy cannonading and their range was so accurate that many
+Americans were slain. Dr. Reynolds who it is supposed accompanied Hull's
+invalids from the Maumee to Detroit was instantly killed. Gen. Hull
+early decided to capitulate._

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+<p><i>The book containing this journal is an ordinary pocket
+memorandum or account book measuring 6 x 4&frac14; inches and
+covered with split calf. The journal opens the day of the
+author's capture, and closes on the day he receives orders at
+Quebec to prepare to leave for Boston. The author's name is
+nowhere to be found in the book, and several pages at the
+beginning have been cut out, evidently by the original owner.
+The journal was found among the papers of the late J. Gradden,
+a benevolent merchant of Quebec who rendered considerable aid
+to the American prisoners of war confined there on prison
+ships. The journal was no doubt presented to Mr. Gradden
+by its author as a return for kindnesses. Mr. Gradden's son,
+the late Chas. Gradden of Kilmarnock, gave it to Sir James
+M. LeMoine, the venerable Historian of Quebec, who in turn
+presented it to me with the understanding that I would edit
+and print it.</i></p>
+
+<p><i>Although the author's name is not attached to the journal
+it bears unmistakable evidence of having been written by Surgeon's
+Mate James Reynolds who was deputed by Surgeon
+General Edwards of Gen. Hull's army to the charge of the
+sick on the two vessels that were dispatched from Maumee to<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span>
+Detroit, but which were captured at Fort Malden (Amherstburg)
+by the British. Lossing, in his "Pictorial Field Book of
+the war of 1812" says that the schooner conveying the sick in
+charge of Reynolds escaped and reached Detroit, and that the
+Dr. <ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'Reynold's'">Reynolds</ins> of this expedition was killed at the attack on
+Detroit by a cannon ball. There is a mistake somewhere as
+the author of this journal says that</i> <span class="smcap">he</span> <i>was in charge of the
+<ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'Cugahoga'">Cuyahoga</ins> conveying the sick, and that the accompanying
+schooner carried the stores, and that both vessels were captured
+at Malden. Could it be that there were two Reynolds, one the
+Surgeon's Mate and the other the Dr. Reynolds that Lossing
+refers to as having been killed, and hence the confusion?
+I am inclined to this view in the absence of convincing proof
+to the contrary. The journal itself is strongly corroborative
+of my contention as the weight of evidence is with the writer
+whose story is everywhere the simple straightforward one of
+the daily chronicler of the events that came under his observation.
+It is a very human document and not without historical
+value. It will take its place in the Archives of the war of
+1812 on the Frontiers.</i></p>

+<p><i>Anticipating the formal declaration of war President
+Madison of the United States during the winter of 1811-12
+commissioned Gov. Wm. Hull of the Territory of Michigan
+as a Brigadier General to command the Ohio and Michigan
+troops at Detroit, with the understanding that immediately
+upon the announcement of war he was to invade all that part
+of Canada contiguous to Detroit. On June 24th, 1812, Gen.
+Hull with several thousand troops had arrived at Fort Findlay.
+Here he received despatches from Washington to hasten his
+forces to Detroit and there await further orders. When the
+troops arrived at the navigable waters on the Maumee (or Miami)
+Hull determined to relieve his tired men of as much
+baggage as possible by dispatching it by water. Accordingly
+a considerable portion of the stores and intrenching tools,
+Hull's and his staff's personal baggage, and the trunk containing
+Hull's instructions and the muster rolls of the army together
+with other valuable papers&mdash;also three officers' wives, Lt.
+Goodwin, Lieut. Dent with thirty soldiers were transferred to
+the <ins title="Transcriber's Note: original reads 'Cugahoga'">Cuyahoga</ins> packet and an auxiliary schooner. Both reached
+Maumee Bay where Toledo now stands on the evening of
+July 1st. On the morning of the 2nd of July the Cuyahoga<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span>
+and the schooner entered the Detroit River and while sailing
+past Fort Malden (Amherstburg) the British armed vessel
+Hunter went alongside of the Cuyahoga, and vessel and cargo
+became a prize, while the crew, troops and passengers were
+declared prisoners of war. Lossing says that the auxiliary
+schooner bearing the invalids, being behind the Cuyahoga,
+escaped and reached Detroit next day. The author of the
+journal says that this auxiliary vessel which contained only
+the stores was also captured later in the day and brought in
+under the guns of Fort Malden. Col. St. George, the commander
+at Fort Malden, had received the news of the declaration
+of war on the 30th of June, while Gen. Hull only received it
+on the 2nd of July when he immediately despatched an officer
+to the mouth of the Raisen to intercept the two vessels, but he
+arrived too late. In the capture of these two vessels valuable
+stores and yet more valuable information fell into the hands
+of the British. The journal of the Surgeon's Mate begins
+July 1st and some of the events that lead to the final surrender
+of Detroit and the forces under Gen. Hull's command are
+recorded in the journal from such observations as were possible
+to a prisoner on a vessel, and from stray information. The
+journey from Malden to Quebec is recounted and the subsequent
+imprisonment there on a ship in the harbor until he with
+others were sent to Boston for exchange.</i><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span></p>

+
+<p>July 1st (1812).&mdash;After a long and tedious march I
+with the sick, went on board the Caryaorgo<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> packet at
+Maume, a little town on the Maume River<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a>. Doctor
+Edwards Surgeon General of the North Wertern Army gave
+me charge of the Hospital stores and sick to go by water
+to Detroit. We sailed about 4 p.m. and had a gentle
+breeze the afternoon. At sunset the wind died away and
+we ancored for the night<a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a> and about 4 o'clock in the morning
+the wind rose and we weighed ancor and with a fair wind
+entered Lake Erie all in to good spirits to think we should
+be at Detroit by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. To our surprise
+just as we were about to enter Detroit River we saw
+a boat that hailed us and ordered the Captain to lower
+his sails<a name="FNanchor_4_4" id="FNanchor_4_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_4_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a>. Our arms were all in the hole (hold) and the<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span>
+men sick. I thought it improper to make any resistance
+as I had not been informed that war was declared<a name="FNanchor_5_5" id="FNanchor_5_5"></a><a href="#Footnote_5_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> and had
+not had orders from the Genl. to make any resistence.

+to the 3rd Regt. Ohio Vlts. and three ladies and
+two soldiers wifes making in the whole forty-five in number
+and not more than six well persons among them it must
+have been imprudent in the highest degree to have attempted
+to resisted a boat of eight well armed men and a Capt., and
+another of 5 men who demanded us as prisoners of war
+and we were nearly under the cover of the guns at Ft.
+Malden, soever we gave ourselves up and was taken into
+Malden and our property was all stored in the hole (hold)
+and hatches nailed immediately and we were taken alongside
+a prison ship. The next morning about X o'clock our
+Schooner was<a name="FNanchor_6_6" id="FNanchor_6_6"></a><a href="#Footnote_6_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> taken and all our effects even to a blanket.
+The Doctor came on board to see some of the sick and I
+asked him for knapsacks and blankets for the men which
+were returned immediately and the cloths of the officers
+and men on board.</p>

+the feeling of a free born subject to see the Savages dancing
+their war dance and hooting about the town and to be
+confined when we knew they were preparing (to) murder
+our fellow creatures and not only the soldiers but the
+helpless women and children. These horrible and dispicable
+seens closed the day and Sol returned to his rest.</p>

+health and spirits but we could not see them without a

+news we knew not, but could judge by the movements.
+Two topsail vessels were sent out of the river and the people

+all the morning armed and painted black. A lousifer with
+their arms and the town was in an uproar. It appeared by
+ten o'clock that almost every person had left the town.
+About five o'clock the Savages began to return into town
+hollowing and barekin and firing all around our vessell,
+and to crown the whole they had one of our men's scalp
+stretched on a pole as they past by us to aggrevate us in
+a helpless state and wound the feelings of prisoners. These
+Indians<a name="FNanchor_13_13" id="FNanchor_13_13"></a><a href="#Footnote_13_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a> were headed by a british subject. Is it possible
+that their can be so much corruption in the British Government.
+They are void of feelings and in fact are as bad as
+the savages themselves for they carry on their intrigues
+under the pretence that they cannot govern the Indians,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>
+and in fact they themselves are personally at their head
+and give them their instructions. God deliver me from
+monarch's gag laws and all their subjects<a name="FNanchor_14_14" id="FNanchor_14_14"></a><a href="#Footnote_14_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> for free I was
+born and free I'll die or by the sword shall we live like bruts
+and worse, glory in each other's fall and more than that
+confine our fellow creatures and tantalize them by the
+blood of our fellow mortals. What will man do when left
+to himself. But thanks be to God this (is) about the last
+act of bravery you can show you are on your last legs.
+The crown will loose another jewil and savage yell dispersed
+and harmony fill the land. The eagle here shall build her
+nest and every subject shall be at peice<a name="FNanchor_15_15" id="FNanchor_15_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a>.</p>

+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax

+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+Explanatory Note
+
+
+_The book containing this journal is an ordinary pocket memorandum or
+account book measuring 6 x 4 1/4 inches and covered with split calf. The
+journal opens the day of the author's capture, and closes on the day he
+receives orders at Quebec to prepare to leave for Boston. The author's
+name is nowhere to be found in the book, and several pages at the
+beginning have been cut out, evidently by the original owner. The
+journal was found among the papers of the late J. Gradden, a benevolent
+merchant of Quebec who rendered considerable aid to the American
+prisoners of war confined there on prison ships. The journal was no
+doubt presented to Mr. Gradden by its author as a return for kindnesses.
+Mr. Gradden's son, the late Chas. Gradden of Kilmarnock, gave it to Sir
+James M. LeMoine, the venerable Historian of Quebec, who in turn
+presented it to me with the understanding that I would edit and print
+it._
+
+_Although the author's name is not attached to the journal it bears
+unmistakable evidence of having been written by Surgeon's Mate James
+Reynolds who was deputed by Surgeon General Edwards of Gen. Hull's army
+to the charge of the sick on the two vessels that were dispatched from
+Maumee to Detroit, but which were captured at Fort Malden (Amherstburg)
+by the British. Lossing, in his "Pictorial Field Book of the war of
+1812" says that the schooner conveying the sick in charge of Reynolds
+escaped and reached Detroit, and that the Dr. Reynolds of this
+expedition was killed at the attack on Detroit by a cannon ball. There
+is a mistake somewhere as the author of this journal says that HE was in
+charge of the Cuyahoga conveying the sick, and that the accompanying
+schooner carried the stores, and that both vessels were captured at
+Malden. Could it be that there were two Reynolds, one the Surgeon's Mate
+and the other the Dr. Reynolds that Lossing refers to as having been
+killed, and hence the confusion? I am inclined to this view in the
+absence of convincing proof to the contrary. The journal itself is
+strongly corroborative of my contention as the weight of evidence is
+with the writer whose story is everywhere the simple straightforward one
+of the daily chronicler of the events that came under his observation.
+It is a very human document and not without historical value. It will
+take its place in the Archives of the war of 1812 on the Frontiers._

+
+Historical Note
+
+
+_Anticipating the formal declaration of war President Madison of the
+United States during the winter of 1811-12 commissioned Gov. Wm. Hull of
+the Territory of Michigan as a Brigadier General to command the Ohio and
+Michigan troops at Detroit, with the understanding that immediately upon
+the announcement of war he was to invade all that part of Canada
+contiguous to Detroit. On June 24th, 1812, Gen. Hull with several
+thousand troops had arrived at Fort Findlay. Here he received despatches
+from Washington to hasten his forces to Detroit and there await further
+orders. When the troops arrived at the navigable waters on the Maumee
+(or Miami) Hull determined to relieve his tired men of as much baggage
+as possible by dispatching it by water. Accordingly a considerable
+portion of the stores and intrenching tools, Hull's and his staff's
+personal baggage, and the trunk containing Hull's instructions and the
+muster rolls of the army together with other valuable papers--also three
+officers' wives, Lt. Goodwin, Lieut. Dent with thirty soldiers were
+transferred to the Cuyahoga packet and an auxiliary schooner. Both
+reached Maumee Bay where Toledo now stands on the evening of July 1st.
+On the morning of the 2nd of July the Cuyahoga and the schooner entered
+the Detroit River and while sailing past Fort Malden (Amherstburg) the
+British armed vessel Hunter went alongside of the Cuyahoga, and vessel
+and cargo became a prize, while the crew, troops and passengers were
+declared prisoners of war. Lossing says that the auxiliary schooner
+bearing the invalids, being behind the Cuyahoga, escaped and reached
+Detroit next day. The author of the journal says that this auxiliary
+vessel which contained only the stores was also captured later in the
+day and brought in under the guns of Fort Malden. Col. St. George, the
+commander at Fort Malden, had received the news of the declaration of
+war on the 30th of June, while Gen. Hull only received it on the 2nd of
+July when he immediately despatched an officer to the mouth of the
+Raisen to intercept the two vessels, but he arrived too late. In the
+capture of these two vessels valuable stores and yet more valuable
+information fell into the hands of the British. The journal of the
+Surgeon's Mate begins July 1st and some of the events that lead to the
+final surrender of Detroit and the forces under Gen. Hull's command are
+recorded in the journal from such observations as were possible to a
+prisoner on a vessel, and from stray information. The journey from
+Malden to Quebec is recounted and the subsequent imprisonment there on a
+ship in the harbor until he with others were sent to Boston for
+exchange._

+
+Journal of an American Prisoner
+
+at Fort Malden and Quebec in the War of 1812
+
+
+July 1st (1812).--After a long and tedious march I with the sick, went
+on board the Caryaorgo[1] packet at Maume, a little town on the Maume
+River[2]. Doctor Edwards Surgeon General of the North Wertern Army gave
+me charge of the Hospital stores and sick to go by water to Detroit. We
+sailed about 4 p.m. and had a gentle breeze the afternoon. At sunset the
+wind died away and we ancored for the night[3] and about 4 o'clock in
+the morning the wind rose and we weighed ancor and with a fair wind
+entered Lake Erie all in to good spirits to think we should be at
+Detroit by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. To our surprise just as we were
+about to enter Detroit River we saw a boat that hailed us and ordered
+the Captain to lower his sails[4]. Our arms were all in the hole (hold)
+and the men sick. I thought it improper to make any resistance as I had
+not been informed that war was declared[5] and had not had orders from
+the Genl. to make any resistence. Lt. Goodwin and 2nd Master Beatt and
+Mr. Dent paymaster to the 3rd Regt. Ohio Vlts. and three ladies and two
+soldiers wifes making in the whole forty-five in number and not more
+than six well persons among them it must have been imprudent in the
+highest degree to have attempted to resisted a boat of eight well armed
+men and a Capt., and another of 5 men who demanded us as prisoners of
+war and we were nearly under the cover of the guns at Ft. Malden, soever
+we gave ourselves up and was taken into Malden and our property was all
+stored in the hole (hold) and hatches nailed immediately and we were
+taken alongside a prison ship. The next morning about X o'clock our
+Schooner was[6] taken and all our effects even to a blanket. The Doctor
+came on board to see some of the sick and I asked him for knapsacks and
+blankets for the men which were returned immediately and the cloths of
+the officers and men on board.
+
+3rd.--The day past with Mallone holey (wholly) the men sick and despond,
+nothing pleasing appeard.
+
+4th.--We were surrounded with Savages singing and dancing their war
+dances through the town[7]. O heavens what a glory Sun for independence
+can any person discribe the feeling of a free born subject to see the
+Savages dancing their war dance and hooting about the town and to be
+confined when we knew they were preparing (to) murder our fellow
+creatures and not only the soldiers but the helpless women and children.
+These horrible and dispicable seens closed the day and Sol returned to
+his rest.
+
+5th.--Some gentlemen[8] from our (side) came from Detroit with a flag of
+truce and brought news that our army had arrived their safe and that the
+men were in tolerable health and spirits but we could not see them
+without a British being present. We sent some papers to Detroit after
+having them examined (by) an officer (of) the Part we would expect for
+prisoners[9].
+
+6th.--We were provided with tolerable rations, and nothing happened
+through the day.
+
+7th.--Nothing especial happened through the day, but all the (men) were
+making preparations for war.
+
+9th.--Know news for prisoners.
+
+X.--Nothing extra happened in the course of the day.
+
+10th.--We were moved below town. Dr. Davis attends on our sick daily.
+The weather verry warm and the men suffer much from the heat.
+
+11th.--We had a very warm day in the afternoon. The officers and Indians
+were verry busy, however we heard nothing[10]
+
+12th.--Sunday. The American troops crossed the river into Sandwich and
+divested the people of their arms and sent them to their farms.
+
+13th.--Monday. Pleasant and cool. Nothing extra happened.
+
+14th.--Tuesday. Nothing worthy of notice.
+
+15th.--Wensday, healthy weather. People was moving very much in town and
+considerable blustor.
+
+16th.--Thursday. Pleasant and cool. Capt. Brown[11] came to town with a
+flag of truce on and (what) express news we knew not, but could judge by
+the movements. Two topsail vessels were sent out of the river and the
+people were moving out of the town at night.
+
+17th.--Friday. The Indians[12] were flocking into town all the morning
+armed and painted black. A lousifer with their arms and the town was in
+an uproar. It appeared by ten o'clock that almost every person had left
+the town. About five o'clock the Savages began to return into town
+hollowing and barekin and firing all around our vessell, and to crown
+the whole they had one of our men's scalp stretched on a pole as they
+past by us to aggrevate us in a helpless state and wound the feelings of
+prisoners. These Indians[13] were headed by a british subject. Is it
+possible that their can be so much corruption in the British Government.
+They are void of feelings and in fact are as bad as the savages
+themselves for they carry on their intrigues under the pretence that
+they cannot govern the Indians, and in fact they themselves are
+personally at their head and give them their instructions. God deliver
+me from monarch's gag laws and all their subjects[14] for free I was
+born and free I'll die or by the sword shall we live like bruts and
+worse, glory in each other's fall and more than that confine our fellow
+creatures and tantalize them by the blood of our fellow mortals. What
+will man do when left to himself. But thanks be to God this (is) about
+the last act of bravery you can show you are on your last legs. The
+crown will loose another jewil and savage yell dispersed and harmony
+fill the land. The eagle here shall build her nest and every subject
+shall be at peice[15].
+
+18th.--Pleasant. All things peceable through (the) day. About X o'clock
+in the evening their was an alarm[16] and the prisoners, sick and well,
+were all ordered in to the hole (hold) together and what a disagreeable
+(night) it was to have forty men half sick all stowed together and some
+had to stand all night.
+
+19th.--Sunday. Warm and muggy weather. Their was considerable movement,
+the Indians again past armed and about 2 p.m. we heard firing towards
+Sandwich[17]. The Savages returned about dark in not so good spirits as
+usual and this led us to suppose their success had not been so good as
+they could wish. About 8 in the evening their came a party (of) Savages
+by and fired several times near us and struck up their war hoop.
+
+20th.--Monday. To day the Indians past by armed as usual, they returned

+Brownstown with Britishs and officers.
+

+tell their business.
+
+4th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. The troops and Indians crossed the river as
+yestirday and returned about eight o'clock in the evening.
+
+5th.--Wensday[21]. Plesent. The Indians crossed the river about 11

+returned about sunset but the boats had few in them. Their was six guns
+fired about 11 o'clock at Browns Town.
+
+6th.--Thursday. Pleasant. Nothing in particular.
+
+7th.--Friday. Pleasant. Capt. Olds and Ensign Elison came on board and

+themselves.

+about fifty or sixty[22]. Nothing further worth recording.
+
+No news from the army.

+Erie. The people seemed to be in considerable motion about tewlve
+o'clock and we heard about sunset that their was an engagement on the
+other side of the river. Considerable motion in the evening.
+
+10th.--Monday. Rainy in the morning. We herd in the morning that they
+had a hard battle at Browns Town and the Americans mentained their
+ground. Several killed and wounded on both sides. We were likewise
+informed that they intended to have another battle this day[24].
+
+11th.--Continued showers of rain. About 5 o'clock we herd a continual
+firing near Browns Town which continued about one hour and a half and
+from the nois the American army drove the Indians and British[25]. The
+Schooner Chipoway came from Lk. Erie with one company of red coats.

+the new soldiers all appeared to leave the town about sunset.
+
+15th.--Saterday. Foggy. The drums beat to arms about sunrise and the
+troops were all in motion or at least all that were left. The citizens
+all entered boats for Detroit, as I am told. The Indians went by in
+boats. By land about 300. About sunset the Cannon began to roar at
+Sandwich[28].
+
+16th.--Sunday. Pleasant weather but unpleasant news we herd about noon
+that Hull had given up Detroit and the whole Territory Mitchigan. The
+Indians began to return about sunset well mounted and some with horses
+and chais. Who can express the feelings of a person who knows that Hull
+had men enough to have this place three times and gave up his post.
+Shame to him, shame to his country, shame to the world. When Hull first
+came to Detroit the 4th U. S. Regt. would have taken Malden and he with
+his great generalship has lost about 200 men and his Territory[29].
+
+Can he be forgiven when he had command of an army of about 2500 men
+besides the Regulars and Militia of his Territory and given up to about
+400 regular troops and Militia and about 700 Indians.
+
+17th.--Monday. Clouday. The news of yesterday was confirmed. The Indians
+were riding our horses and hollowing and shouting the whole day.
+
+18th.--The Provo Marshal[30] came on board and wanted a list of the
+Regular Troops, and told us that the Regular Troops[31] were prisoners
+of war and the militia had liberty to go home. We were taken from the
+Schooner Thames and put into a little Schooner but every attention paid
+us that was possible. In the evening we were ordered on board the
+Elinor. Their was a detachment of prisoners joined us.
+
+19th.--Wensday. Pleasant. I got provisions and medicines on board. The
+other vessels came from Detroit. Nothing extraordinary through the day.
+

+
+21st.--Friday. We drifted out of the river into the Lake. Capt. Brown
+and Ensign Phillips came on board.

+lay to for the Sharlott[32], and about 12 o'clock we came to ancor.

+Fort George[34]. We pased through Queenstown and opposite to the town
+was two or three hundred American Troops was stationed. We past by
+Niagary Falls. We arrived at Fort George about 5 o'clock p.m. and stayed
+in the river all night and we are very much crowded.
+
+28th.--Friday. Pleasant. We had a fair wind for King's Town (Kingston)
+which was our next place of destination. We weighed ancor about 2
+o'clock and had pleasant sail through the day and night.
+
+29th.--Saterday.--Pleasant. We hove in sight of King's Town (Kingston)
+about 7 o'clock a.m. Cast ancor about 9 o'clock and was landed on an
+Island near Kingston. About 5 p.m. I was ordered to take charge of the
+sick and wounded.
+
+30th.--Sunday. Pleasant but cool for the season. The sick were visited
+by the Doctor about eleven o'clock. Three of the sick were taken to
+Kingston hospital, the other 40 sick and wounded were left in my charge.
+
+31st.--Monday. Pleasant. A detachment of 400 men arrived here from
+Montreal for Detroit. 2 men deserted last evening. The sick are better.
+The officers treat us very kindly and we are well provided for for
+people in our situation.
+
+Sept. 1st.--Tuesday. Pleasant. We left Kingston[35] about 4 o'clock p.m.
+for Montreal. We went 18 miles in the evening.

+troops stationed on the bank of the river at Sagrota and stopped at
+Johns Town.

+Lachein and the well men were marched to Montreal by land. The sick went
+in boats by water where we arrived about 7 in the evening and was
+marched to the Garrison[37].
+
+7th.--Monday. Pleasant. We stayed at the Garrison through the day and
+four of the sick sent to the King's Hospital which reduced my number to
+about 30.
+
+8th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. We left Montreal[38] about 10 A.M. and
+descended the St. Lawrence. We had a pleasant prospect on both sides of
+the river handsome meadows and fine farms and several handsome towns. We
+stopped at Sorril (Sorel) and were marched from the boats to a room
+where we were all put into a room together and locked up and not a man
+allowed to get a drink of water nor allowed to leave the room on any
+occasion. The men were obliged to comply with natures requests in the
+room where we all lay, and we suffered verry much all knight.

+worms, in fact our fare is hard and unwholesome, half the men sick with
+the diarrie. No news of any better times.
+
+15th.--Tuesday. Pleasant. I gave five men emetic and 3 carthartic. Our
+provisions better than yesterday. No news, the men are something better.

+is called banyan day. The surgeon came on board our vessel and ordered
+men and me on bord the brig 160 transport.
+
+17th.--Thursday. Pleasant. I proceeded to give the men medicine and gave
+them gruel and they appeared verry much better at night. We had twelve

+schooner was also captured and it was this schooner that contained the

+in command at Fort Malden as early as June 30th, 1812._

+
+[10] _On the 12th Hull crossed his army to Sandwich of which he took
+possession. The few British troops stationed here retired to Fort
+Malden. Col. Miller of the American army in a letter to his wife says:
+"As we were crossing the river we saw two British officers ride up very
+fast opposite where we intended landing, but they went back faster than
+they came. They were Col. St. George, commanding officer at Malden, and
+one of his Captains."_
+
+[11] _Probably sent by Gen. Hull to announce to Col. St. George of his
+(Gen. Hull's) intention to attack Fort Malden and to advise the removal
+from the town of the non-combatants._
+
+[12] _There were frequent and small engagements between the American
+outposts and the Indians on the British side. Scalping the dead was
+practised by both Indian and the frontiers men on both sides._
+
+[13] _The Indians were almost invariably commanded or led by their own
+chiefs, but oft'times under the direction of an English officer._
+
+[14] _On the 16th Col. Cass of the American Army with a force of about
+280 men pushed forward to the Ta-ron-tee or Riviere aux Canards about
+four miles above Malden and engaged the British outpost guarding the
+bridge across the river. The British and Indians fled and were pursued
+by the Americans. Night put an end to the engagement and the Americans
+returned to the bridge. Hull however retired the force to Sandwich as he
+said the position was untenable with so small a force._
+
+[15] _The author somewhat mixes himself in his rhapsody._
+
+[16] _On the 18th Capt. Snelling of the American Army and a small
+detachment left Sandwich on a reconnoitring expedition towards Malden._
+
+[17] _On the 18th July Gen. Hull issued an order for a general movement
+on Fort Malden. Col. McArthur with a detachment of his regiment joined
+Capt. Snelling on the 19th at Petite Cote about a mile above the Aux
+Canards Bridge. A general skirmish ensued with the Indians under command
+of Tecumseh and McArthur was compelled to fall back. He sent for
+reinforcements and Col. Cass hastened to his aid with a six pounder, but
+after another short engagement with the Indians and the English supports
+that had been hastened to their assistance the American forces returned
+to Sandwich._
+
+[18] _For some reason or other Reynolds makes no mention here of the
+engagement of the 24th, when Major Denny and a considerable force of
+Americans were engaged with some Indians and retreated in considerable
+confusion pursued by the Indians. Denny lost six killed and two wounded.
+This was the first blood shed in the war._
+
+[19] _The captive American officers are probably meant._
+
+[20] _Col. Proctor who now commanded at Amherstburg or Malden detached
+the Indians under Tecumseh across the Detroit River to intercept a
+convoy that Major VanHorne and a force of Americans had been sent to
+safely conduct within the American lines._
+
+[21] _On this day the Indians under Tecumseh badly defeated Major
+VanHorne's force of Americans near Brownstown and the latter retreated
+in great disorder. The mail fell into the hands of the British and
+revealed the mutinous spirit in Hull's army. In this engagement
+seventeen of the Americans were killed and eight wounded._

+Americans defeated the British and Indians and drove them to their boats
+whence they returned to Malden. The advantages of this victory were not
+followed up for the relief of Brush on his way to Detroit with a convoy
+of supplies for Hull's army._
+
+[24] _Skirmishing occurred for several days after the main engagement of
+the 10th._
+
+[25] _Major Muir and his subaltern Sutherland of the British forces were
+both wounded. The losses and casualties on the American side were very
+heavy._
+
+[26] _Gen. Brock joined Col. Proctor at Malden (Amherstburg) on the
+night of the 13th with three hundred militia and a few regulars._
+
+[27] _Gen. Brock marched that day with the forces under his command and
+took possession of Sandwich which had been abandoned by the Americans._
+
+[28] _About 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th, a general
+cannonading began between the British at Sandwich and the Americans at
+Detroit. Considerable damage was done by the British artillery and
+several American officers were killed. Two guns on the British side were
+silenced by the American artillerists._
+
+[29] _During the night the British forces crossed to the Detroit side of
+the river and prepared for an assault on the town. The guns at Sandwich
+opening a heavy cannonading and their range was so accurate that many
+Americans were slain. Dr. Reynolds who it is supposed accompanied Hull's
+invalids from the Maumee to Detroit was instantly killed. Gen. Hull
+early decided to capitulate._

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
