Battle of the
Thames, 5th October 1813
The original hand-coloured lithograph was printed some twenty years
after the event, and compresses time and geography to show the key elements of the Battle
of the Thames.
The central figures show Richard M. Johnson, colonel of a corps of
mounted Kentucky volunteers and in 1837 Vice-President of the United States, about to fire
on an Indian chief, purportedly the great Tecumseh who was killed in the battle.

provided needed protection to the little capital of Upper Canada then forming.

Plan of the present state of the fort erecting at
Point Mississauga, at the entrance of the Niagara River, 1814
Fort Mississauga was begun in the spring of 1814 as part of the
increased defences at Niagara, although it was never more than an incomplete field work
during the war.

Ships' dimensions and draughts of a Royal Navy Schooner
Frigate of 22 guns and of a Frigate of 32 guns, 1813.
To maintain British naval superiority on the Great Lakes, it was
proposed to build ships in Canada from frames transported from England.
The frigate Psyche
was launched at Kingston in December 1814 from frames constructed in Britain and hauled up
the St. Lawrence by bateaux.
With their experience and knowledge, master
shipbuilders would produce the vessels from simple lines and dimensions like those
reproduced.

Two 1812 images on one print!
1. Part of the River Thames, Upper Canada, 9
August 1814
Following the loss of the naval squadron on Lake Erie in September
1813, the British Right Division was forced to retreat from Amherstburg up the Thames
River.
Caught by the pursuing American army nar the village of Moraviantown, the
largest part of the British and Canadian force was captured in the ensuing battle and the
Shawnee chief Tecumseh killed.
This plan marks the general line of retreat and
location of the American advance.
2. Sketch of part of the River Chateauguay, 1814
In the autumn of 1813 an American force of 4,000 troops advanced up
the Chateauguay River as part of a two-pronged attack on Montreal.
Met by a small
force of Canadian Fencibles, Voltigeurs and militia under led by Lt. Col. Charles de
Salaberry, the Americans were forced to withdraw, and Montreal was saved.
This plan
was prepared from a sketch by de Salaberry and shows the skillful positioning of the
defending Canadian force.
