The War of 1812 on the Genesee River: A Documentary Journey by Christopher Pieczynski Pdf
During the War of 1812, the area along the Genesee River, both upriver around the modern city of Rochester and along the shores of Lake Ontario, never saw a battle, never had any significant military presence, and at best held only a minor level of strategic value. Despite these facts, the few inhabitants of this area faced constant threat of British plunder or invasion and had almost continuous 'visits' from both American and British forces during the extent of the war. Based on first hand accounts and primary source materials.
