Reminiscences of the Late War in the May Knickerbocker
A narrative recounts signals and ruses used during the War of 1812, detailing American improvisations at sea against British ships, the plan to decoy vessels, and Commodore Rodgers’s use of captured British signals. It also describes postwar commentary on White House furnishings and Van Buren’s expenditures, with contrasting views from Ogle and Lincoln.
