Battle of Queenston Heights


We recieved word today of a battle near Queenston Heights when the American Forces attempted to cross the Niagara River and establish a foothold on British soil on 13 October (1812). According to the news we received, the British forces were victorious in driving back the Americans, but at a great cost, Major General Issac Brock was killed during the action.

  1. Did you mean FORT GEORGE? It is much more than 11 km from Fort Erie to Queenstown.

    1. Ah, you are correct Sir! I simply used the text from the original poster of this video, but it would seem I was in error. Thanks!
