Brigadier General John VINCENT’s biography outlines the military difficulties encountered in the Niagara peninsula:
“In February 1813 Prevost made Vincent brigadier general and transferred him to the Niagara frontier to replace Major-General Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe*, who was ill. Vincent took over command of about 1,900 men: many of them, he informed Prevost in May, were unenthusiastic militiamen whose ‘desertion beyond all conception continues to mark their indifference.’”
