Blaine Bettinger's monumental 50-page study of the Carrying of the Great Rope in 1814 from Sandy Creek to Sackets Harbor -- the most extensive study known to be written -- is available for reading online or for download and printing through your word processor. Thank you Blaine! Special thanks also to Marc E. Mosher for granting permission for his phoo of a memorial plaque to be used in conjunction with the site! Please visit the Hounsfield Resource Site of the American Local History Network and enjoy the fantastic history behind an amazing War of 1812 event.
