Richard M. Johnson

Previous versions of this entry had Richard M. Johnson as a US Commander. I can find no record of him being present, or involved in any way.

Anyone with any info. on this ?

195.92.168.163, what was the primary source for the new additions? Fawcett5 04:14, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"The Day of Crysler's Farm", an article by Ronald L. Way, published in 1961 in Vol. 62 of the "Canadian Geographical Journal". Part of the collection, "The Defended Border", ed. Morris Zaslow, pub. Macmillan of Canada. ISBN 0-7705-1242-9. HLGallon 13:05, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks.. Please ensure that none of the text added constitutes a copyvio... I got a little suspicious when I saw so much material added in one edit... Regards, Fawcett5 13:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No copyright violation. R.L. Way's sources were contemporary despatches and letters, but his own interpretation had a pro-Canadian bias, and he consistently confused the various British detachments. I have annotated with info. from other sources, and achieved a NPOV (I hope).HLGallon 20:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"On November 1 they reached French Creek, New York, where there was a clash with British gunboats escorting supplies up the Saint Lawrence. From French Creek, Wilkinson proceeded down the river."

Really this French Creek, 250 miles out of Saint Lawrence in opposite direction??? (Harry 84.176.67.86 (talk) 12:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Obviously not that French Creek. I'll remove the link until I can sort things out. HLGallon (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On an old map of the battle, the area is spelled "Christlers Farm" ^[1].150.203.110.103 (talk) 06:56, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
