Indigenous Warriors Saved British and Canadians at the Battle of Queenston Heights-- Part 1


From the June 3, 2018, Niagara This Week.com "Indigenous warriors turned the tide of the Battle of Queenston Heights" by Paul Forsyth.

"War cries helped convince American reinforcements in Lewiston to refuse to join the fray."

Major General Isaac Brock has a monument at Queenston Heights where he was killed by a musket shot.  But, most Canadians do not know of the important role Indians played in the British victory.On October 13, 1812, just months after the United States declared war on Britain, the Americans were planning for their conquest of Upper Canada starting with the capture of Niagara.

--Brock-Perry   The Brock stands for Isaac Brock
