 1812 : Niagara Campaign Overview - Opening Moves
The initial strategy of the United States was relatively simple: land forces would invade Canada, while naval forces, supported by privateers, would take to the seas in search of the British navy and commercial shipping.
On the Niagara front, Major General Stephen Van Rensselaer, a member of a prominent New York family and commander of the state militia, was the senior commander of the American force when the campaign opened in the fall of 1812.
The American troops were concentrated in three camps: at Lewiston, Van Rensselaer had approximately 2,500 militia and 900 regulars; at Fort Niagara were another 1,300 regulars; and at Buffalo, Brigadier General Alexander Smyth, the regular army commander in the area, had 1,650 regulars and almost 400 militiamen.
