Stephen Van Rensselaer.
Hon. Major Gen. Dearborn.
From this letter, it will appear to any professional man acquainted with the country, and the circumstances of the enemy at that time, that, although Gen. Van Rensselaer was not a military man, he reasons very much like a sol- dier ; his point of attack was selected with masterly judg- ment, because, from its apparent difficulty it was least sus- pected, when, in fact, the counter currents under the oppo- site shores, and the narrowness of the r
...iver, * rendered it the preferable traverse ; and as to the plan of the enterprize which he had finally determined on, it was so simple and so perfect, that an act of God alone could have prevented the success, which would have reflected honour on a maste? of the trade.
If the reader will cast his eyes over the annexed map, he will perceive General Van Rensselaer's camp at Lew- iston, (B) from whence a road (mm) has been cut by his order, six miles through a wood, to (N), at Four-mile Creek, where sixty batteaux lay equipped for service ■ from whence it is four and a half miles by water to Fort George, under a high bank, which conceals the movement until the boats turn the point of Niagara.
