June 6, 1813 Battle of Stoney Creek

This battle was fought near where present day Stoney Creek, Ontario is situated. A force of over 4,100 white soldiers under the command of Brigadier General John Vincent, had caught wind of a large force of brave Ojibway Soldiers in the Stoney Creek region. They then planned to attack the large force of Ojibway Soldiers in the dead of the night, in order to stand a better chance of defeating them. For some reason, their planned night time attack did not go as they had expected. With the first advance upon the Indian camp, white soldiers captured several of the big guns of the Ojibway's who knew of the presence of the larger force of white soldiers just before the battle commenced, and for the next 45 minutes an intense battle ensued. By early dawn, the battle had ended. Through much confusion, Ojibway Soldiers were not capable of defeating the larger force of white soldiers. However, the larger white military force did not totally defeat the Anishinabe military force. The Anishinabek only retreated to regroup from the surprise attack of their white enemies. White casualties were 40 killed, 173 wounded and 155 captured then probably killed later on or enslaved by the Anishinabek. The battle was a white victory but it didn't go as they had planned. Whites were increasing their forays into southern Ontario. Stoney Creek is almost adjacent to Hamilton, Ontario. Whites were well established near Detroit. Their goal was taking Michigan and southern Ontario.
