(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]

" Old Ironsides" was saved, repaired, and converted into a school-ship. When the Naval Academy was temporarily removed from Annapolis to Newport, Rhode Island, on account of the Rebellion, the Constitution took her place at the latter station. Her latest commander in the war of 1812- 15, Rear Admiral Charles Stewart, yet [1867] survives, at the age of ninety-one years. He is sometimes called Old Ironsides.

Prospect Of Winter Clothing

A journal ... (Elias Darnell's Journal):

"[Oct.] 27th. In consequence of Gen. Winchester's receiving information, he issued an order respecting clothing, which will show a flattering prospect of being supplied, an extract of which is as follows:—'General Orders.—Fort Winchester, Oct. 27,1812. With great pleasure the General announces to the army the prospect of an early supply of winter clothing, amongst which are the following articles exported from Philadelphia on the 9th of September last, viz. 10,000 pairs of shoes, 5,000 blankets, 5,000 round jackets, 5,000 pairs of pantaloons, woollen cloth, to be made and forwarded to the westward immediately; besides the winter clothing for Col. Wells's regiment some days before; 1,000 watch-coats, ordered from Philadelphia the 7th of October, 1812. September 24th, 5,000 blankets and 1,000 yards of flannel. 25th, 10,000 pairs of shoes. 29th, 10,000 pairs of woollen hose, 10,000 do. socks. Yet a few days and the General consoles himself with the idea of seeing those whom he has the honor to command clad in warm woollen, capable of resisting the northern blasts of Canada.'
