Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee, in Obedience to a Resolution of the House, in Reference to the Defense of Craney Island in This State, When Attacked by the British Forces on the 22d of June, 1813
The partiality of the nation at that period for the navy, was quite natural. It was the arm of our national defence which first turned the tide of victory in our favour. It was adding fame to our national character, whilst disaster and defeat followed our operations upon land upon the northern frontier. It was, besides, the first national exhibi tion of the skill and gallantry of our noble tars, and struggling, as we then were, with the mistress of the ocean, upon her own favourite and theretofore invincible element, and in vindication of the great rights of maritime freedom, it is not wonderful that the public favour should have been at the time almost wholly engrossed in its admiration of the intrepid feats and matchless enterprise of that branch of the service. But now that the enthusiasm of the moment has subsided, and we are left at liberty coolly to contemplate the events of that period, every sentiment of gratitude and justice impel us to honour the brave de fenders of our country upon land, however late and tardy may be the public recognition of their just claims upon our attention.
That the defence of Craney Island was regarded during the war, and by all the historical writers who undertook to embody the events of that period, as amongst the most striking and important achieve ments of our arms, there is thost abundant evidence to shew.
