Early on the morning of July 26th 1814, Lieutenant-general Sir Gordon Drummond awaited another attack on the
Lundy’s Lane hill near Niagara Falls. Throughout the previous night, this hill had been taken and retaken in the
bloodiest, most hard fought battle of the war of 1812-14. The expected attack did not occur. The Americans,
exhausted, withdrew to Fort Erie. In November, they abandoned Fort Erie and retired across the Niagara River.
Drummond and his troops has successfully maintained British sovereignty in the Niagara peninsula.
