Viceroy Prevost Reports Plattsburg Campaign Actions
Dispatch from Lieutenant General Prevost to Earl Bathurst details the 1814 Lake Champlain operations. He describes assembling three Canadian brigades under Major General De Rottenburg, seizing Champlain area, forcing the Saranac crossing, and assault on Plattsburgh with vessels under Captain Downie. A fog incident undermined naval support, orders were issued to withdraw, and dispositions for return to Chazy and Champlain were set, with loss returns provided.
