From the August 4, 2014, Blog of 1812. Article published in the Raleigh Register and North Carolina Gazette.
AUGUST 4, 1814, by steamboat Richmond, News from Lundy's Lane. General Brown reported the British force to have been about 5,000 and ours about 4,000. The enemy lost about 1,300 killed and wounded and with 220 prisoners. Our loss was about 800 killed and wounded.
"We took their artillery, but whether it had been retained or not was unknown. Another battle, it was expected, would ensue, as the British were reinforcing.."
More to Come. --Brock-Perry
