The narrative centers on Major General Henry Procter's retreat following the disastrous Battle of Moraviantown on October 5, 1813. After abandoning his troops, Procter sought a court martial to clear his name but faced public reprimand instead. The book presents the previously inaccessible trial minutes, offering a rich exploration of British imperial, Canadian, and American frontier history. It includes rare eyewitness accounts, shedding light on one of the War of 1812's most significant British defeats and the historical context surrounding Procter's actions.
