Two West Point Graduates Killed at Fort Erie Sortie in 1814
I have been writing about West Point graduate Col. James Gibson who died at the Sortie from Fort Erie in 1814. Fort Gibson in New York Harbor was named after him.
Also killed at Fort Erie was West Point graduate Eleazor Wood. Fort Wood (today the base of the Statue of Liberty) was named after him.
