Black's Opinion on a Possible War With Britain
Col Henry McHinek, Fort Wayne military commander, argues no war probability. He notes four U S companies with 12 pound guns at the fort can command the river under normal conditions and could secure more artillery if needed. He says only one government warship on the lakes, but if war starts troops would pour into Canada from this point, placing the fighting on British soil.
