		Forsyth and his riflemen retreated to Sackets Harbour, leaving Ogdensburg in the possession on Macdonell and his men, who removed eleven pieces of artillery and a considerable amount of ammunition and other military stores to Prescott and also burned a number of schooners and gunboats frozen in the ice.

		Schecter's focus in the first half of the book on the battles in and near New York City, and in the second half of the book his arguments, generally convincing, that New York City was always important to the strategy of both sides.
		Schecter has some interesting things to say about the Battles of Brooklyn, Harlem Heights, etc. While not downplaying the strategic errors made by the rebel forces, the author is persuasive when he makes his point that these battles were not quite as one-sided as they have been portrayed in the past.
		This, as Barnet Schecter's brilliant history, "The Battle for New York: The City at the Heart of the American Revolution", is an undeserved slight to New York.
