A Canadian's View Of General Henry Dearborn

Source

From The War of 1812: A History....,  By Gilbert Auchinleck:

"We have already shown that General Dearborn was (if we may so express it) his own master, and almost unfettered by instructions, during the entire autumn of 1812. He had ample time, with adequate means to prepare an army of five or six thousand strong, whom, if it had been only to keep them healthy, it would have been better to put in motion. The English Generals had many greater difficulties to contend with, in defending Canada, than the Americans to conquer it."

The aftermath of "The battle of Campbell's Island" in 1814:

Rector's boat with Campbell's men arrived at St. Louis first and when the news spread that Lieutenant Riggs and his men had been left on the Rock Island rapids, fighting the Indians, it was feared that all were captured by the Indians and when Riggs' boat later arrived at St. Louis on the twenty-sixth, there was great rejoicing and the occasion for a general jubilee. The entire company presented a distressing sight. Those not wounded were worn down to skeletons by labor and fatigue.

"Christopher Hagerman, future Attorney-General...was a temporary resident [of Kingston, Ontario, Canada]..". Nor should we forget...the two able and esteemed physicians — Doctors Armstrong and Sampson, the latter...a man of marked originality and dry humour."

"His father. Nicholas Hagerman (was a)...lawyer... .  At the Quarter-Sessions the father and son were often employed as opposing counsel, the latter sometimes winning his case, to the indignation of the former." [Source]
