Demonstration at Ft. George

Gen. Sir George Prevost ordered Maj. Gen. Francis DeRottenburg to launch a concerted an attack upon Ft. George. On August 24, Prevost directed an skirmish upon the American outpost at Ft. George. He quickly came to the conclusion, which DeRottenburg had already reached, that Ft. George was too strong to be assaulted with the forces currently available.
