July 25, 1814 Battle of Lundy's Lane

This battle was fought near where present day Niagara Falls, Ontario is located. Continuing their strategy of bringing the war to the whites, Anishinabe military commanders once again instructed their brave soldiers to launch more military expeditions against whites who were located in the region where Niagara Falls is, or to defend their land against white invaders. Anishinabek were still dominating this war in that region and whites were hard pressed to gain a permanent stronghold there during that time. In late July of 1814, several thousand more white soldiers had arrived to the Niagara Falls region to reinforce those white soldiers who had continued to stay in that region. In all, they numbered over 6,000. Their movements were learned of by Ojibway scouts who alerted their commanders to the new white reinforcements arrival. The goal of the white military force was to bring the forts scattered across that region back under their control, particularly Fort George which was close to where this battle was fought. The battle commenced after many brave Ojibway Soldiers came out into the open from the woods. Then white soldiers commenced to bombard them from a hilltop about 25 feet higher up than where Ojibway Soldiers were. The bombardment quickly disorganized Ojibway Soldiers and inflicted numerous casualties on them. After the initial attack, Ojibway Soldiers regrouped, and then one contingent of Ojibway Soldiers was ordered to attack what appeared to be a weakness in the white soldiers defenses. Their assault drove those white soldiers off. A long battle followed. Ojibway Soldiers possibly tired of the battle soon after a last advance by white soldiers occurred around midnight and withdrew from the battlefield. White casualties were extremely high in the long battle which was probably the turning point in the war against the mighty Anishinabek of southern Ontario. Of the 6,000 white soldiers who participated in the battle, 255 were killed, 1,131 were wounded and 352 were probably captured then probably killed later on or enslaved by the prophesy weary Anishinabek.
