M. Fairchild, Jr. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book is based on the firsthand writings of an anonymous American prisoner of war, likely Surgeon's Mate James Reynolds, documenting his experiences during the War of 1812, specifically focusing on his capture and imprisonment following the American defeat at Fort Malden. The journal begins on July 1st, 1812, detailing the author's harrowing journey aboard the Cuyahoga packet as he and others are captured by British forces during a failed attempt to reach Detroit. Throughout the narrative, the author recounts the harsh and often distressing conditions of captivity, interactions with British officers and Native American allies, and the heavy toll on his fellow prisoners from illness and inadequate provisions. Not only does the journal provide a personal account of an individual’s struggle and resilience, but it also sheds light on broader events of the war, including the surrender of Detroit, skirmishes, and the treatment of captured American soldiers. The narrative closes abruptly as the author is ultimately prepared for transport to Boston for exchange, leaving a poignant sense of the historical plight faced by prisoners during this tumultuous period.
