James Glenie, one of the key individuals in the construction of Fort HaldimandThe 1988 Syracuse Harold America story “Retracing a soldiers past" tells of a visit by the great great great grandson of James Glenie to Carleton Island. <br />
<br />
Lt. James Glenie was one of the key individuals in the construction of Fort Haldimand. <br />
<br />
From: <a href="http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/glenie_james_5E.html">Dictionary of Canadian Biography</a> <br />
In the summer of 1778 Glenie accompanied Lieutenant William Twiss to Oswegatchie (Ogdensburg, N.Y.) and Cataraqui (Kingston, Ont.) in search of a suitable site for a supply depot which Haldimand hoped to establish at the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Once Twiss had decided upon Buck Island (N. Y.), which he proposed to rename Carleton Island, he sent Glenie to report to Haldimand, expressing his confidence in him. Haldimand agreed with Twiss’s proposal for a post on Carleton Island, but as soon as the proposed works were well launched Twiss was to leave for Montreal and Glenie would “oversee and carry on that Business in your absence.”<br />

St. Lawrence River Historical Foundation Inc. (<a href="http://home.netcom.com/~srhf/">http://home.netcom.com/~srhf/</a>) has started a project to build a computer model of Fort Haldimand and the British Military base on Carleton Island in the St Lawrence River in Jefferson County, New York as it was in early 1780’s. St. Lawrence River Historical Foundation Inc is also referred to as SRHF<br />
<br />
The remains of Fort Haldimand as viewed today are impressive but only a small portion of what once was one of the most important posts on the Great Lakes during the Revolutionary War. Ravaged by the elements, overgrowth of vegetation, relic hunting, land clearing and natural aging, what remains provided clues to what the base once was.<br />
<br />
Using historical documents, first hand accounts and maps, SRHF will compile a physical description of the fort when it was at its prime. Satellite and aerial photograph will be combined with surveys from the 1800's to present refine details. The resulting information will become the basis of the computer model. <br />
<br />
The advantage of the computer model is that will not be encumbered by properly access and can be updated easily as new information becomes known. The long term goal will be to make the computer model available either on the internet or at an information center in the Thousand Islands area.<br />
<br />
The model building process will involve virtual low detail simulation-based models that will be the basis of an eventual photo realistic rendering solution. The following are some computer simulations used in a project feasibility study.</div>

In the September and October issues of United Empire Loyalists of Canada news letter <a href="http://www.uelac.org/">Loyalist Trails</a> is an article “Eighteen of Fort Haldimand's Men” by Stephen Davidson. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
“Carleton Island was the Gibralter of Lake Ontario; its Fort Haldimand linked the frontier with the settlements of the St. Lawrence River and guarded those settlements against possible invasion. Eighteen loyalists recounted their connection to the island during their testimony at the Royal Commission on the Losses and Services of American Loyalists (RCLSAL).” Stephen Davidson </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the upper extremity the land narrows into a rugged promontory,
ending in a bluff sixty feet in height. Here, lifting their ruined heads aloft,
and plainly visible to all passers along the river, stand a number of toppling
and half ruined chimneys. These may be seen for miles around. So long have
these old sentinels watched over the scenes that their history is lost in the misty
past. Around them are the remaining ruins of an old fort, supposed by many to
be the ruins of old Fort Frontenac. Its old redoubts and parapets linger antiquated
historical legends and traditions enough to fill a volume, which has been
lately published by the editor of the St. Lawrence News, of Clayton, N. Y., forming
an interesting study. A copy was presented to me by the publisher, but has been
mislaid and cannot be found. An ancient well, cut in the solid Trenton
limestone down to the level of the lake, has been converted by the reckless
imaginations of the natives into a receptacle of the golden doubloons which the
French soldiers, upon evacuating the old fort, are said to have thrown there, with the brass guns on top of them. Upon
either side and immediately in front of the bluff upon which the old fort stands,
is a quiet, pretty little bay, which may once have supplied a safe and easy anchorage
for the vessels that lay under its protecting <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">guns. The fortress is supposed to have been one of
importance as a military post at some time, having been built upon an excellent
plan and in the most substantial manner. <strong><span style="color: orange;">Numbers of graves still occupy a field
near by, the remains of the brave soldiers who once occupied the fort.</span></strong> The
scene is of deep interest to the student of history. This island <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">has been purchased by the Folger Brothers, and
laid out in villa lots A grand barbecue and sale was held here in 1889 and many
lots 79 were purchased by wealthy parties who intend to build upon the Island
the coming season, and I have no doubt this will be one of the most popular resorts
of the Thousand Islands. It is also used for picnics and pleasure parties. About
six miles this side of Clayton is Lindsay Island, the only one on the right
between Cape Vincent and Clayton, except Carlton Island just spoken of.</span></span></div>

In 1878 Dr. Charles Douglas of Dexter, New York made a series of sketches of Carleton
Island that he gave to his daughter, Helen A. Douglas of Black River. The
original sketches, that included several views of Fort Haldimand, Chimneys and
earth works as well as a few structures, are in the Jefferson County Historical
Society in Watertown, New York. The 1878 sketch of North Bay is from Fort
Haldimand at the top if the cliff looking down into North Bay with part of the
head of the island in view. In the 1810 map by Colonel Gray the point was called Aubrey Head. </div>

The brass tomahawk head without its wooded Haft (shaft) was
recovered near the Revolutionary War period wreck in North Bay. The brass
tomahawk was fitted with a steel edge that was dovetailed in the blade and
hammered down into grooves in the head. The steel blade was covered with some corrosion.
In the Post-Standard article the blade is shown after preservation and very
little of it lost over the after 200 years that it was underwater.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Information
provided to Dennis McCarthy, St. Lawrence River Historical Society on April 16,
2008 from Charles Trollope, Noted Independent Ordnance Expert, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Ref: Iron
Gun recovered in 1973 from the St. Lawrence River off Fort Haldimand, Carlton
Island, Cape Vincent, NY <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The gun is
a 9Pdr of 9 Ft 6 Ins (guns are recorded to their nearest 6 Ins). It was cast
between 1731 and 1748. Probably in the period 1731 - 1734.</span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">9pdrs for garrison service (usually
long guns) were sent out to New England, including Boston, in 1754. On 19th May
1757 Govenor Shirley took some guns, including 2 X 9drs, out of Boston for
service at Oswago and Crown Point. None of these guns were returned. More guns
were taken later by Abercromby but these would seem to have been the 18Pdrs of which
two burst in the defense of Fort William Henry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Either at
Oswago of Fort William Henry your 9Pdr passed into French hands. At the end of
the war it was back in British hands at Oswegatchie and the rest of the guns
history you have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Details on
the gun:- Without the trunnions, I cannot reduce the date range nor can I
identify the gun founder and where it was cast except to say that it was cast
in the Weald.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The figures
on the base ring are of interest. XXII is the battery number put on by the
French and the number 3268 is the gun weight in French pounds. The difference
between the British weight and the French is just 2 pounds. The hard work was
finding which French pound was being used! The British battery number is by the
cypher - the "6".</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The
"BA" is a problem. It would not have been put on while the gun was in
British hands - against regulations! There is a 12 Pounder at Fort Erie with
the same "BA" but that gun is a civilian piece having a Crown and
"P" instead of a cypher. The 12Pdr was captured and returned to
British hands after the fall of Fort Niagara on the 18th October 1813. By then
the "BA" had been inscribed. There is no record of this gun's
previous history.</span></div>
