the battle of the Windmill, 1838

In 1838, members of a clandestine American organization, the Patriot Hunters, launched a series of attacks across the border and occupied a stone windmill near Prescott, Ontario. After five days of heavy fighting, British regulars and Canadian militia captured the invaders and imprisoned them in Fort Henry at Kingston. This book traces the rise of the Patriot Hunters in the northern United States, describes their odyssey down the St. Lawrence and provides a detailed account of the five-day battle that followed. 2001
