Year 1814 Blog #4

It’s me again. Once again, I’m still fighting the war. This time, I have better things to tell you about. In fact, I’ve got 4 battles to tell you about. I can only tell you 2 this post and 2 next post. The first battle is the Battle of Queenston Heights. This is a good and bad battle for the British. Good because we won the battle, but bad because Sir Isaac Brock had died in this battle. Isaac Brock heard heavy guns, so he took a small force up to the hills. He was shot in the chest by a musket ball and died. Major General Roger Sheaffe and Ahyouwaights brought troops to fight back against the Americans. British won the battle and were an important battle to remember. Next is the Battle of Lundy's Lane. Each side suffered many losses, and most of the battle was fought in darkness. Sometimes, each would fire at their own men by accident because it was so dark. The Americans withdrew and the British prepared for an attack that would never come. Each side claimed victory because neither had won or lost. Next blog, I’ll tell you about the rest of the battles.

Sincerely
