To Your Posts! Fort Meigs in the War of 1812 through the Voices of Those Who Fought There recounts the history of Fort Meigs, a U.S. military garrison built on the outermost reaches of Ohio's northwestern frontier during the War of 1812. Troops commanded by William Henry Harrison erected the fort in the late winter and early spring of 1813. Built at the foot of the Maumee River Rapids, the site of present-day Perrysburg in Wood County, the post successfully withstood two determined sieges by allied British, Canadian, and Native forces later that year. Those victories, resulting in the garrison's continued American occupation throughout 1815, contributed significantly to the United States' eventual successes in the Detroit Theater at the end of the war. Using numerous primary sources including letters, diaries, and other documents from the period, many published here for the first time, To Your Posts! tells the story of Fort Meigs through the voices of those who served at the post during the War of 1812.
