This work was transcribed from records of the British Admiralty
pertaining to American prisoners of war held at Quebec, Lower
Canada, during the War of 1812. Those interned included 1,834
American soldiers, sailors, marines, privateers, and civilians. All
of the men were captured during the various land battles or naval
actions on or around the Great Lakes or Lake Champlain. An
alphabetical listing of names, a numeric listing by prison number,
a sailors listing by ship, a soldiers listing by battle, a list of
dead, a list of marines, and a list of civilians are included in
this work. Some of the famous land battles in which American
soldiers were captured include the Battles of Lundy's Lane,
Chippewa, Stoney Creek, Fort George and Fort Niagara. Sailors were
captured on the United States ships: Eagle, Growler, Julia, Ohio,
Scorpion, Somers and Tigress. Many other Americans were captured
during minor land battles and on other U.S. ships. Mr. Johnson is a
lineal descendant of five veterans of the War of 1812 and he is the
past president of the Society of the War of 1812 in the State of
Ohio (2008-2011).
