A sharp, firsthand defense of a pivotal wartime decision and the struggles behind a historic resignation.

The excerpt presents a careful defense of Colonel McKenney’s official conduct during the 1814 campaign and his role in recounting events that led to General Armstrong’s resignation as Secretary of War. It frames the book as a response to a critical review, arguing that the author’s narrative is mischaracterized and that the author acted as a faithful messenger and witness during a tense period for the capital’s defense.

Readers get a firsthand view of the pressures and decisions around the defense of Washington, including the debate over arm supply, the controversy at Windmill Hill, and the reactions of key figures such as President Madison, Governor General Smith, and Major General Winder. The text also challenges accusations of meddling or conspiracy and asserts the author’s integrity and accuracy in reporting the events.

How the author describes his own role as a staff officer and witness to military actions in 1814

Details on arm shortages, rifle issues, and attempts to secure Harper’s Ferry rifles

Contested claims about the Georgetown Committee and public sentiment around General Armstrong

Discussion of the relationship between the narrative and Kosciusko Armstrong’s critique

Ideal for readers of early American political and military history, especially those interested in the era’s wartime decisions and public accountability.
