February 22, 1813 Battle of Ogdensburg

Ogdensburg, New York and Prescott, Ontario were very important white settlements Ojibway's obviously focused much of their attention on. They knew these white settlements had considerable amounts of weapons and ammunition. On several occasions Algonquin's launched raids on these settlements to attempt to capture weapons and ammunition, which led to whites keeping a careful eye out for marauding Ojibway Soldiers. On February 22, 1813 a large force of brave Ojibway Soldiers launched a surprise attack (Battle of Ogdensburg) on a fort near Ogdensburg. In the fort were 770 white soldiers. When white soldiers began to notice movements of several Ojibway Soldiers on the frozen Saint Lawrence, they began to start thinking about another possible Anishinabe raid on their towns weapons & ammunition. However, instead of another raid, Ojibway Soldiers attacked the fort situated near Ogdensburg, then forced the white soldiers to flee to Ogdensburg. After capturing the fort, Ojibway Soldiers next attacked the town of Ogdensburg, which was where the scores of white soldiers fled to. As the battle raged on around Ogdensburg, the white soldiers morale began to deteriorate, then they unanimously agreed to abandon Ogdensburg. After capturing Ogdensburg, Ojibway Soldiers gathered weapons and ammunition of the former white soldiers who lived there, then headed back to their headquarters. White casualties were 127 killed and wounded.
