July 26 - August 4, 1814 Second Battle of Mackinac Island

This battle was fought near where present day Mackinac Island, Michigan is located. That region of Ojibway country was extremely important. Earlier in this war, this fort was captured by enraged Ojibway Soldiers who captured the forts weapons and ammunition supplies, then probably left the fort alone afterwards, under their careful watch that is. In late May of 1814, the whites were mounting their forces in the Niagara Falls region, western Quebec region, and the northern Ohio region to attempt to end the war against the Anishinabek. One of their goals was to attempt to recapture Fort Mackinac. On May 18, 1814 a force of 152 white soldiers snuck their way back into the Fort Mackinac region. A few weeks after the small white military force had snuck their way back into the Fort Mackinac region, another larger force of white soldiers under William Henry Harrison's instructions, reached the forts location by sailing Lake Huron. They numbered over 700. After Anishinabe ogimak discovered that the fort had been reoccupied, they ordered scores of their brave soldiers to head for the island to attempt to recapture the unwanted white fort. On July 26, 1814 Second Battle of Mackinac Island commenced. Ojibway Soldiers had reached the fort then commenced to bombard the fort with the remaining cannons they had captured earlier in the war. The battle turned into a long siege. After ten days of trying to recapture the fort from white soldiers, Anishinabe military commanders ordered their brave soldiers to lift the siege, then they left the region. White casualties in the long siege were 14 killed and 52 wounded. Ojibway leaders knew they were losing this war after this battle.
