Notes |
- Noah Bisbee, Jr. wrote "The History of the Falco's," a comedy in 4 acts. This was written in Walpole, NH.
Noah was killed in the charge made by the troops of Col. James Miller on a British battery at Bridgewater, Upper Canada.
In American history the Battle of Lundy's Lane has sometimes been called the Battle of Bridgewater, because of the nearby Bridgewater Mills. Due to the swift current that existed here, it was a ideal site to take advantage of water power. The mill complex was constructed in the late 1790s, and included a saw mill, a gris mill, and an iron foundry. The American army burned the mills on July 26, 1814, during their retreat from the Battle of Lundy's Lane. -- "Guidebook to the Historic Sites of the War of 1812," by Gilbert Collins, 1951, p. 133
Noah Bisbee also was noted for speech making and delivered an oration in Baptist meeting in Richmond on the Fourth of July, 1808. [2]
