Excerpt from Battle of Lake Erie: A Discourse, Delivered Before the Rhode-Island Historical Society, on the Evening of Monday, February 16, 1852 The Rhode Island Historical Society having requested me to prepare a discourse for this their anniversary public meeting, I have chosen for my subject a history of the Battle of Lake Erie. I have made this choice, first because this battle is a part of rhode-island History, and therefore appropriate to the occasion; secondly, because I could speak of it from personal knowledge and thirdly, because a very inaccurate and perverted account of it has been written and imposed upon the public by the late J. Fenimore Cooper, Esquire. I am aware that this gentleman's mistakes and misrepresentations should have been noticed and corrected before his decease, and my apology for the delay is, that I never saw the pamphlet containing them, nor knew of its existence, until within a few days past, and after commencing this discourse. My aim will be to give an account of the origin of the eet or squadron on the lake; of its con ict with the British squad ron, of the consequences, immediate and remote, and in conclu sion notice some of Mr. Cooper's erroneous positions and false inferences.
