Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology

Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey

Introduction

This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the and the of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, , June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing.

Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British 's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error. Privateering records are often incomplete or unreliable. Sometimes the assumption of a date from a newspaper report is incorrect when the article is reprinted from an earlier published newspaper. Thus a statement such as "Saturday 12th Inst." may actually refer to a previous month or months. Such misreading is common.

When possible, chronology entries are based on the most authoritative sources available. But even then dates and locations can be imprecise. Statements such as "during the winter of 1814 on the Mississippi River" or "in early June of 1814 in western " don't give enough information to make them useful for a chronology.

For a list of the primary sources utilized to compile this chronology see Eshelman 2013a.4 He discusses the difficulties of assembling such a database. For example, many sites have different names and multiple spellings. Not all sections of have received the same level of study and therefore events from less studied regions are underrepresented. Eshelman provides all known names and variations of spellings as well as range of dates for a military engagement when there is no consensus. For this chronology, when dates are in conflict the most authoritative or most agreed upon date is given followed by "~" to indicate there are discrepancies. The range of those discrepancies are shown in brackets at the end of the entry. The most common name of the site or event is used. It is understood that battles are often time actually skirmishes. To see alternate names for entries, details of the event and sources of dates see Eshelman 2013b.5 The modern state, province, country or body of water where the event took place is show by abbreviation in parentheses at the end of each entry. For prize captures location information is often lacking but the majority of them occurred in the . Sometimes location is inferred based on known location of a vessel shortly before or after an event. When in doubt the abbreviation is usually followed by "?".

“British” and “Indian” are used in the chronology because they were the designations usually used during the War of 1812. When the term British appears it is meant to be inclusive of all of British allies, including Englishmen, Scotsmen, Irishmen, North American British colonists and Indian allies. This does mean that all these allies were necessarily involved in each action, they rarely were. The term Indian means no disrespect to the native, indigenous,

To make this chronology user friendly multiple events under a single date are listed in alphabetical order. Thus British listings appear before US listings for that date. Vessels are listed by type and then alphabetically by name. To keep this chronology as short as possible each entry is limited to a single line of text. A condensed version of this chronology was published in 2016.6 While care has been taken in preparing this chronology, for reasons pointed out above, it undoubtedly has errors. Many sources use different names and dates for the same event making duplicate entries difficult to reconcile. For a listing organized by country, state and province, see “A List of Anglo-American War of 1812 Land Battles, Actions, and Engagements; Naval and Maritime Actions and those Engagements involving Civilians, Native Peoples and Non-Combatants”.
