October 19, 1814 Battle of Cook's Mills

This battle was fought near where present day Welland, Ontario is situated which is 11.5 miles or 18.6 kilometers from New York State. It was the last battle in the Niagara Falls region, which was the main battleground of this war. A large force of white soldiers had marched from Plattsburg, New York, to reinforce the recently recaptured Fort Erie. In all, they numbered over 7,000. Of that total, about 2,000 fought in the battle. Under Brigadier General Daniel Bissell's command, the 2,000 white soldiers were ordered to the Cooks Mills region to battle a force of Ojibway Soldiers believed to still be in that vicinity. The battle actually started on October 18, 1814 but the fighting was more of a skirmish than an outright major battle. In that battle that was fought on October 19, 1814, the large force of white soldiers battled Ojibway Soldiers near Cooks Mills. The battle was considered to be indecisive. In the minor battle, white casualties were 13 killed and 90 wounded. After the battle, Ojibway leaders agreed to lift their siege over the region between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, or where the Niagara River flows between the two lakes. They still controlled the region north of Lake Ontario.
