• DESCRIPTION: This small view, featured in the 1846 edition of J. Fenimore Cooper's History of the Navy of the United States of America, depicts the pivotal Battle of Lake Champlain, also known as the Battle of Plattsburgh, which took place on September 11, 1814, during the War of 1812. The battle was a decisive American victory, where Commodore Thomas Macdonough led a fleet that successfully repelled the British naval forces, thwarting their invasion plans and securing control of the lake. This victory played a crucial role in the subsequent peace negotiations, solidifying American sovereignty and contributing to the eventual end of the war. The inclusion of this view in Cooper's history underscores the battle's significance in shaping the early naval legacy of the United States.
