A Day Late To Detroit


Journal of Events....principally on the Detroit and Niagara frontiers...by Captain W. H. Merritt... .

"As my detachment could not embark from Dover, it was sent by land to Delaware again to keep up the communication with the Western District. After an unnecessary delay at this place, were allowed to proceed on by Col. Talbot, (under whose command I then was,) to Sandwich, where we arrived the day after the fall of Detroit, much chagrined at not being up in time."
