| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Defence of Stonington (Connecticut) Against a British Squadron, August 9th…" is a historical account by an anonymous author that was produced in the mid-19th century, specifically in the year 1864. This work recounts a significant event during the War of 1812, focusing on a valiant defense of Stonington, Connecticut, by local volunteers against a British naval squadron. The narrative captures both the military engagement and the communal spirit of the townspeople faced with invasion. The book details the events of August 9th to 12th, 1814, when Stonington was threatened by a powerful British fleet comprising ships like the Ramilies and the Pactolus. Despite being inadequately armed, with only a few cannons and minor fortifications, the residents and volunteers displayed remarkable courage, managing to repulse the British attack without sustaining any fatalities. The account highlights various defensive strategies employed by the townsfolk, the interactions with the British commanders, and the ensuing bombardment that left several buildings damaged but ultimately led to the failure of the British objectives. Through poignant descriptions and firsthand accounts, the book serves as a testament to American resilience and the spirit of patriotism during a challenging period in history.
