May 29-30, 1814 Battle of Big Sandy Creek

This battle was fought near where present day Sandy Creek, New York is located. When Ojibway Soldiers captured Fort Oswego, they eventually spread out into the region surrounding Fort Oswego to prepare for more military expeditions against whites. Their goal was to intercept any military and food supplies, whites were sending to that region, on up to Sackett's Harbor region, from larger white cities located along the Atlantic coastline, particularly New York City. On May 28, 1814 a force of 403 white soldiers under the command of Major Daniel Appling, left in 19 boats to attempt to bring military supplies to the Oswego region. Before they reached the Oswego region, they were discovered by Anishinabe scouts who immediately alerted their commanders about the fleet of 19 white boats carrying supplies. They planned an ambush and carried it out successfully on May 29-30, 1814. White casualties in the battle were 24 killed and wounded and 379 captured then probably killed later on or enslaved by the Anishinabek. Ojibway Soldiers also captured large quantities of military supplies, those 19 boats were carrying.
