Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Campaign of 1814, on the Niagara Frontier: From the Papers of the Late David B. Douglass, LL. D., Formerly Captain of Engineers, U. S. A.; Communicated by His Children, for Publication in the Historical Magazine Our enemy, however, in the mean time, was, by no means, thus dilatory. Greatly our super ior, then, at least, in the personal organization and discipline of his forces; more accustomed to the active enterprises of war; and, habitually, more prompt and decisive in all his military movements; he was enabled, while his numbers were yet inconsiderable, to anticipate us, not only in the points of attack, but in the time and mode of the assault. A character was thus giv en, at the outset, to the military policy of the first two Campaigns. Instead of being active and aggressive, as they were intended to have been, they became eminently defensive; and, for a long time, even aslate as the middle of the second Campaign, the energies of the coun try, which should have been directed to a regu lar systematic invasion of Canada, were almost wholly absorbed in measures for repelling petty partisan attacks.
