On Wednesday July 16th at 7:00 PM, Colonel Harold Youmans, U.S.A. Retired, will present an illustrated lecture entitled “Eight Days in May, the British Raid at Oswego, New York,” in the Enlisted Men’s Barracks at old Fort Ontario.
Colonel Youmans will bring new information and insights into the May 5-6, 1814 British amphibious attack on Oswego intended to delay American ship construction at Sackets Harbor. The attack resulted in the destruction of Fort Ontario, military warehouses, and the capture of cannon, munitions, naval stores, and supplies. The political situation, tactical operations, command structure, key individuals, naval and land forces involved, preparations, results, and the long term implications and human toll of the Battle of Oswego will be discussed by one of the nation’s pre-eminent historians of the War of 1812.
