	The Naval War of 1812: Plattsburgh
		Plattsburgh Bay is deep and opens to the southward; so that a wind which would enable the British to sail up the lake would force them to beat when entering the bay.
		The battle at the foot of the line was fought on the part of the Americans to prevent their flank being turned, and on the part of the British to effect that object.
		Without pausing a minute the "Saratoga" again hauled on her starboard hawser till her broadside was sprung to bear on the "Linnet", and the ship and brig began a brisk fight, which the "Eagle" from her position could take no part in, while the "Ticonderoga" was just finishing up the British galleys.

		Yet Macdonough had prepared for the battle by anchoring his vessels in such a way that when crippled along one broadside they could be pivoted about to employ the other one, something the British found impossible to do.
		The battle quickly turned to "battering at close range" (one of the author's many expressive section titles), with one-sixth of the main American vessel's crew killed or wounded by the first British salvo.
		The battle of Plattsburgh coincided with the attack on Fort McHenry and the siege of Fort Erie on the Niagara frontier.

		The Battle of Plattsburgh Bay was the high point of Macdonough’s career and is the centerpiece of this biography.
		Confiance’s poor readiness for combat, the assembling of a crew too late to be trained or to develop unit cohesion, and the appointment at the eleventh hour of a commander unacquainted with his officers all contributed to the result of the naval engagement.
		Skaggs commits a similar failing when he gives Macdonough all the credit for transferring, at the climax of the Battle of Plattsburgh, a kedge anchor from the port quarter to the starboard quarter that allowed the completion of the winding of Saratoga to bring the undamaged port guns to bear.
