Popular sentiment in the States held that Canadians were eager to overthrow British rule and form a <a href="/wiki/Republic" title="Republic">republic</a> patterned after the American model. </p><p>An organization known as the Hunter Patriots was formed to assist the rebellion. Organized in secret neo-Masonic lodges, and with widespread support in the northern border states from Vermont to Wisconsin, the Patriot Hunters aimed to invade Canada and lead an army of insurgent Canadians against the British colonial government. In reality, much of the Canadian population was loyal to existing British institutions and decidedly against the prospects of revolution or invasion. </p><p>In November 1838, a group of Hunter Patriots decided that it was time to invade Canada and restart the rebellion. They chose as their target the town of <a href="/wiki/Prescott,_Ontario" title="Prescott, Ontario">Prescott</a>, on the north bank of the <a href="/wiki/St._Lawrence_River" title="St. Lawrence River">St. Lawrence River</a> downriver from Kingston. Prescott is the site of <a href="/wiki/Fort_Wellington" title="Fort Wellington">Fort Wellington</a>, a British military fortification that commanded the St. Lawrence River and was serving as a fortified depot for the Upper Canadian militia. To initiate the strike, a large group of Hunters assembled in <a href="/wiki/Sackets_Harbor,_New_York" title="Sackets Harbor, New York">Sackets Harbor, New York</a>, and descended the river to <a href="/wiki/Ogdensburg,_New_York" title="Ogdensburg, New York">Ogdensburg</a> in civilian vessels. Overall military command of the invading forces was held by John Birge, a senior member of the Hunter organization in New York state. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Attempted_seizure_of_Prescott">Attempted seizure of Prescott</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_the_Windmill&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Attempted seizure of Prescott"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Early in the morning of November 12, a force of about 250 men attempted to land in Prescott. However, the British had infiltrated the Hunter organization, and had advance warning of the attack. With the element of surprise gone, and with the town militia ready to repel a landing, the Hunter forces abandoned the landing. Their vessels ran aground on a mud flat where the Oswegatchie River flows into the St. Lawrence off Ogdensburg. </p><p>Later in the morning, Bill Johnston, Admiral of the Hunter navy, arrived and freed the stranded vessels, which then ran downriver to Windmill Point, a promontory located approximately two miles east of Prescott. Here, most of the Hunter forces landed to occupy the hamlet of Newport and its most prominent feature, a large, stone windmill building that enjoyed a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River as far west as Brockville and eastwards over the Gallop Rapids. The commanders of the Hunters appointed a Swedish immigrant with some military experience, <a href="/wiki/Nils_von_Schoultz" title="Nils von Schoultz">Nils von Schoultz</a>, to command the Hunter forces while the Hunter leadership withdrew to Ogdensburg to collect reinforcements and supplies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="First_assault">First assault</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_the_Windmill&amp;action=edit&amp;section=3" title="Edit section: First assault"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The windmill was built of thick stone and stood 60 feet (18&#160;m) high on top of a 30-foot (9.1&#160;m) bluff. Although the attackers had not planned to use the structure, it provided an ideal fortified position. Its height prevented the British forces from approaching unobserved, and its thick stone walls were impervious to small arms and to small field and naval artillery. Early on the morning of 13 November, a force under the command of the militia officers Colonel Plomer Young, Colonel <a href="/wiki/Richard_Duncan_Fraser" title="Richard Duncan Fraser">Richard Fraser</a>, Colonel <a href="/wiki/John_Crysler" title="John Crysler">John Crysler</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Greenfield_Macdonell" title="George Greenfield Macdonell">Captain George Greenfield Macdonell</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and <a href="/wiki/Ogle_Robert_Gowan" title="Ogle Robert Gowan">Colonel Ogle Gowan</a> and comprising a handful of British infantry from the <a href="/wiki/83rd_(County_of_Dublin)_Regiment_of_Foot" title="83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot">83rd Regiment</a> and approximately 600 Canadian militiamen, including the Grenville Militia, <a href="/wiki/Dundas_County_Militia" title="Dundas County Militia">Dundas Militia</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Stormont,_Dundas_and_Glengarry_Highlanders" title="Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders">Glengarry Militia</a>, invested the Hunter position around Newport and attacked.

The <a href="/wiki/Dundas_County_Militia" title="Dundas County Militia">Dundas County Militia</a> lost 3 men killed and 7 men wounded. The Hunters suffered about 18 killed and some wounded. </p><p>The next several days were a standoff. As time passed, von Schoultz's position became desperate. Promised reinforcements and supplies never arrived as the United States Navy aided the Royal Navy in blocking egress from Ogdensburg. Law enforcement and military officials in Ogdensburg secured available vessels, and most of the prominent Hunter leaders fled from town to avoid arrest. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Second_assault">Second assault</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_the_Windmill&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Second assault"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Heavy artillery from Kingston, as well as sizeable detachments of British Army regulars, Canadian militia and U.S. Army regulars,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> tried to strengthen the Canadian forces.
