The MRI’s role in this collaboration is to conduct a document review for each of the six historic sites as well as an archaeological assessment for Fort Brown and Valcour Island. The archaeological assessments will utilize KOCOA analysis outlined in the Battlefield Survey Manual of the American Battlefield Protection Program provided by the National Park Service.

Wilkinson's Invasion Flotilla of 1813: a Paper Examining the American
The War of 1812 Magazine Issue 23, February 2015 Wilkinson’s Invasion Flotilla of 1813: A paper examining the American flotilla of Major-General James Wilkinson, and its potential survival in the Salmon River at Fort Covington, New York. By Dana William Ashdown Abstract In the autumn of 1813, the American military was poised to invade Canada in a two-pronged manoeuvre reminiscent of Jeffery Amherst’s 1760 assault on Montréal. This time, the division from Lake Champlain under Wade Hampton would journey by land. But the Lake Ontario army under James Wilkinson would move in a flotilla of boats numbering in the hundreds. After bypassing Kingston, Upper Canada, Wilkinson’s flotilla continued down the St. Lawrence River intent upon taking Montréal. However, after setbacks at Châteauguay, Lower Canada, and Crysler’s Farm, Upper Canada, when smaller British forces defeated the stronger Americans, the flotilla passed into Lake St. Francis and turned into the Salmon River for the safety of French Mills (Fort Covington), New York. Three months later, the American flotilla was burned and scuttled when the army withdrew to Plattsburgh and Sackett’s Harbour. This paper reviews the types of oared craft assembled for the flotilla and their deployment, while posing the question: Has anything survived of Wilkinson’s flotilla? Editor’s Note: Other than the usage in direct quotes from period documents, the modern spellings of several communities, including Sacket’s Harbor and Ogdensburg, appear in the text. INTRODUCTION In the autumn of 1813, the American’s launched a two pronged attack against Montréal. One army, under General Wade Hampton of South Carolina, advanced from Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain; whilst the other, under General James Wilkinson of Kentucky, descended the St.
