Smith, Joseph. Was on a soldiering expedition to Sackett's Harbor in

favored in this County this fall on account of our not being called for
to go in to the service but in an hour when we least expected it we were
all called for to go to Sackett's harbor for its defence, which was then
thought to be in danger of an attack from the enemy accordingly we marched
on the 30th of Oct. for that place we were however ordered to stop at Smith's
mills (a village on the big Sandy Creek about 12 miles this side of the
harbor and then to wait till further orders which we did--and encamped
there about fourteen days and were discharged--Gen. Brown's army having
arrived at the harbor from Niagara it was thought by him not necessary
to detain the Militia there any longer and accordingly we were all sent
home again--we fared verry well while in camp much better than I expected
we should our provisions were good, and our duty light--the march out and
back was verry fatigueing it being so verry muddy that we were forced sometimes
to wade through it and water half leg deep however I stood it verry well
much better than I thought I should when I started from home I was hearty
all the while we were gone--if a man has his health he can endure almost
anything but to be sick in such times is what I should dread above all
the rest I saw several that were verry sick while I was gone, and to see
how the poor fellows fared it was enough to make one shudder at the idea--I
thought it would be impossible for me to endure the campaign before I went
from home not having been used to such fare and fatigue as is necessary
for a soldier to undergo but when I got away from home I found that I was
much more hearty than I was at home and I could eat Uncle Sam's beef and
bread with a good appetite" (letter from Smith to his brother, Azariah,
November 1814 recorded in House, p. 625).
Smith, Lt. (House, p. 623). Not Joseph Smith, above. On October 17,

prisoner...there were in the engagement...about 100 from our town and the
adjacent parts of Onondaga county-composing 2 companies of riflemen--Troops
are continually passing...If the Americans are unsuccessful in the event
of the war I think it must in a great (degree) be attributed to the indifference
the people manifest and their (having little) or no means to assist in
the war any further than they can (advance) their interest thereby"
(House, p. 623).
