Descriptionof Cyrenicus Chapin
Manufacturer

The book tells the story of life in the young American republic through the experiences of a local doctor, land speculator and patriotic citizen. Chapin arrived in Buffalo in 1803 and was blessed with a strong personality, a provocative manner and a caring nature. He became a leading figure in the growing community, caring for the sick, training future doctors and becoming involved in local politics. A staunch Federalist, he challenged Joseph Ellicott of the Holland Land Company, started a family and was friends with leading Native American representatives. During the War of 1812, Dr. Chapin single-handedly resisted the British advance on the city, but was ultimately unable to prevent Buffalo from being burned down by royalist troops. After his third attempt to drive the British out of Upper Canada, he succumbed to pneumonia in 1838. This work is the result of extensive research and tells the story of a time of revolution when America's independence and self-determination were inextricably linked.
