Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 11, 1814, an American naval squadron under Master Commandant Thomas Macdonough defeated a formidable British force on Lake Champlain under the command of Captain George Downie, effectively ending the British invasion of the Champlain Valley during the War of 1812. This decisive battle had far-reaching repercussions in Canada, the United States, England, and Ghent, Belgium, where peace talks were under way. Examining the naval and land campaign in strategic, political, and military terms, from planning to execution to outcome, The Battle of Lake Champlain offers the most thorough account written of this pivotal moment in American history. For decades the Champlain corridor—a direct and accessible invasion route between Lower Canada and the northern United States—had been hotly contested in wars for control of the region. In exploring the crucial issue of why it took two years for the United States and Britain to confront each other on Lake Champlain, historian John H. Schroeder recounts the war’s early years, the failed U.S. invasions of Canada in 1812 and 1813, and the ensuing naval race for control of the lake in 1814. To explain how the Americans achieved their unexpected victory, Schroeder weighs the effects on both sides of preparations and planning, personal valor and cowardice, command decisions both brilliant and ill-conceived, and sheer luck both good and bad. Previous histories have claimed that the War of 1812 ended with Andrew Jackson’s victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Schroeder demonstrates that the United States really won the war four months before—at Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain. Through a comprehensive analysis of politics and diplomacy, Schroeder shows that the victory at Lake Champlain prompted the British to moderate their demands at Ghent, bringing the war directly and swiftly to an end before Jackson’s spectacular victory in January 1815.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Battle of Valcour on Lake Champlain: October 11th, 1776 From the time when Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold marched, side by side, into the fortress at Ticonderoga, in May 1775, until the autumn of the next year, the Americans held undisputed control of Lake Champlain. Over its waters the brave and lamented Montgomery led his army to the invasion of Canada; and over the same waters, in the summer of 1776, the broken fragments of that army, decimated by death and worn out by sickness and disease, returned, unmolested, to the ill-constructed and poorly supplied hospitals at Crown Point. But we were not long to retain this supremacy. The possession of the lake was of vital importance to both parties. It was the Key to Canada from the South, and to New York from the North. The plan of the campaign of 1776, on the side of the English, contemplated a separate movement against Ticonderoga, and the city of New York, and the conjunction of the two armies on the banks of the Hudson at Albany. General and Lord Howe were sent, with a large military and naval force, against New York, and Sir Guy Carleton, with Burgoyne, Phillips, Fraser, Nesbit and Reidesel under him, was placed in command of thirteen thousand troops collected in Canada. During the summer, the English were actively engaged in the construction and equipment of a fleet for service upon Lake Champlain.
