Lossing, Benson John Lossing's War of 1812: Pictorial Field Book of the War of 1812, 1869, Chapter XIX Events on the Niagara Frontier "The river at Lewiston, at the foot of the lower rapids, is always a sheet of violent eddies, the middle current running about four miles an hour. To prevent confusion and disaster, experienced boatmen were procured." "In the early hour in the evening of October 1812, Mr. Cooke, a citizen of Lewiston, had assumed the direction of the boats from Fort Niagara to Lewiston and provided men to man them."
