Talk:Battle of Fort Anne

Inaccuracy
In the Aftermath section. Serious question should be raised on the "delivery to such a remote location render the story implausible" statement.

On June 14, 1777, in order to establish an official flag of the new nation, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act: "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." http://www.usflags.com/usflaghistory.aspx

means it could have made it there in under 100 hours. On the other hand, he could have walked it to Philadelphia, PA then to Columbus, OH; Ottawa, ON, Canada to Montpelier, VT where he can grab a bite, use the privy and have a smoke and still have time to get to Fort Ann with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D12Blame (talk • contribs) 22:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * allow 19 days for delivery without even a horse at ~3.02MPH

British Decisive win? doubtful. Win? seriously. The mission of van Rensselaer and Long was to slow British advance and stall them at Fort Anne. Their mission was not to overtake the British nor were they defeated by the British. Ammunition on both sides wound up nearly exhausted but, it was the British who went into retreat leaving their wounded to get captured by those who remained there to collect them and take them prisoner. Even to say it was a draw is being quite generous to the British especially when you consider the fact that those who collected prisoners were cutting down trees and confounding British advance (were they to attempt it).

Confusing reference
Maybe I have short eyeballs or glanced too quickly but the reference to what flags were found seem devoid of anything useful. it could be as simple as the reference pages displayed are different than the actual pages printed on the page itself? An assertion is being made that is totally unsubstantiated by the reference as it appears.D12Blame (talk) 00:56, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Fort Ann or Fort Anne?
The American Battlefield Trust and the map on the page itself both use "Ann". 173.242.98.157 (talk) 07:41, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Interesting question. But the town was renamed a few decades after the battle, at the time it was Anne.PrisonerB (talk) 07:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
