BATTLE OF OGDENSBURG

The Battle of Ogdensburg New York was a defeat for the Americans on February the 22nd, 1813. Colonel McDonell, with 800 British soldiers, attacked the village and also Fort Presentation, commanded-by Colonel Forsyth. An initial attack upon the fort was repulsed, but that on the village was successful. The British now reformed and moved against the fort which, however, had meanwhile been evacuated, the Americans fleeing to Black Lake, nine miles away. Two armed sloops and the barracks were burned, the village plundered, and fifty-two prisoners made. The American loss was five killed, fifteen wounded, and fifty-two captutred; the British, six killed and forty-eight wounded.
