(Partial) Map of Erie County, New York at the LOC (Including Black Rock)

Secret murmurs then broke out into loud complaints threats and denunciations [of General Smyth at Black Rock]. General Peter B. Porter said publicly that Smyth was a scoundrel and a traitor [see report on duel].

On his way...[to a meeting]...while riding along the beach, he (General Smyth) was fired at. The ball passed through the clothes of his aid, who was by his side.  [Source]
