Today marks the 200th anniversary of the famed BATTLE of LUNDY'S LANE, at the Falls of Niagara. It was a huge turning point in the history of U.S & Canada and the war of 1812.(In 1814) It was fought a couple kilometers from the falls. Noted as the most severe and savage battle of the war, it raged thru the night. The Americans had been advancing along the Canadian side of the Niagara, & had just won a battle at Chippawa creek. Now they advanced again-hoping to capture Ft.George, before moving along the western shore of Lake Ontario. By the time the battle was fully joined it was after 7 p.m. Drummond failed to protect the British guns with his infantry, & most of the artillerists were bayoneted while loading the guns. Although the Americans captured the guns - they failed to carry them off. As the battle wore on, both sides volley fired at a range so close-the bayonets near touched. The U.S eventually had 2,500 men on the field.Casualties were high: 173 Americans killed, 571 wounded, 38 missing, 79 captured. British / Canadian losses: 84 Killed, 559 wounded, 42 captured, 193 missing. It was well after midnight when the fighting ceased.The British & Canadians remained on the field. In the light of early morning, they were surprised to find the Americans had withdrawn. The Americans withdrew to Ft.Erie, & Drummond led a slow persuit, leading to the siege of Ft.Erie. The implications of this were huge. After Lundy's Lane, the Americans were no longer able to invade Upper Canada again. Once the Americans had abandoned Ft.Erie, it had become the final incursion into the province by American forces. The battle is viewed as a major victory for British /Canadian forces, not only because the Americans yielded the field, but because it blunted the planned invasion of Upper Canada & the American seizure of Burlington Hieghts. 200 years of peace...that's a pretty good show Hoadie ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

Well,the Fennians tried to "Liberate" us..but those attempts failed, too. As for the oil..you been taking quite a bit of it.(28% of imported American oil). But I guess y'all don't want the pipeline - so they plan to ship it to China.(I dunno if that's a good idea). The American gov't had said that the taking of the Canadas would,"only be a matter of marching." They thought that we wouldn't fight..& accept the U.S. army as liberators. They also knew the King had his hands full on the continent with Napoleon. They underestimated our resolve. The bulk of the U.S army was kept in Louisiana, & as the war dragged on up here, it became a deadlock. Once Europe was settled, it would only be a short time before the full might of Britain's Royal navy & her battle hardened veterans would be turned loose on America.That wouldn't end well..but it has worked out pretty good since, I'd say.

Funny that Shamu.We have a London here as well. ..& its on the Thames(well, nearby), & its in Middlesex County, as well..But in ONTARIO. Stratford - just outside London, is on the Thames River. ..& Jon..It wasn't a "battle". It was an all out gut blasted war.The defenders of the Canadas were hugely outnumbered. Still tho-we managed to burn the White House in Washington. (Maybe thats why they don't let us in any more?)We took Detroit, as well. HA! That'll learn ya! We did that, cuz you guys set fire to YORK (now Toronto). When the Yanks skiddadled, they decided to stop & burn the village of St.Davids(Not any military target..& the U.S. commander was court martialled for it). Thus started the burnings on the border. Ugly war, in all. To think - all that time we coulda been partying instead! Hoadie ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

When Rhino & Lisa were here, I was gonna take 'em down the road to Ft.Erie..but like I said to them,"We lost that one...nothing to see here." The U.S had taken the fort(other side of the river from Buffalo), & they retreated there after their defeat @ Battle of Lundy's Lane, which led to the siege of Ft.Erie. There again, after hard fighting (& big losses on our side) the U.S. abandon the fort, & crossed back over the river.(Guess we could have avoided this if Canada Customs had of done their job & refused them entry! Ah well, they still do archeological digs in Ft.Erie, & every now & then another U.S. serviceman's remains are found. Big deal-pomp & circumstance as the bridge is closed down & the repatriation ceremony takes place. Gets tourists & commuters riled-up good for the huge delays..but maybe while they sit & fume...they can think about what 200 years of peace has brought, & just maybe while they are at it - they can pay a little respect for those that sacrificed .Since that time, the U.S. hasn't fought a war without Canadians in the ranks to some degree. Plenty went Stateside to volunteer in every war. Funny that..makes one wonder...Naw-It'll give me a headache.  Hoadie ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

Plains of Abraham (Quebec City) went down in 1759.(Not long before U.S. war of Independence). The French lost (as usual). The British allowed the Acadians their language, traditions & freedom. But - they were to swear allegiance to the Crown, & keep the peace. Some wouldn't.France refused to take 'em back. So-the "trouble makers" were kicked out. Louisiana was still a French colony so that's where they went. Then...ALAKAPOOF! A whole new culture was born!  Been workin well for quite a while now. [<:o)] (But-Cajun "French" aint French at all..They cant understand the French, & the French cant understand them!  (During WWII they even called the Canadian French troops to try & translate..but they couldn't understand 'em either.This resulted in a name attached to them by the French, that was a derogatory term for a certain part of the female anatomy. That term evolved into what Rhino refers to as "Coonass". Just sayin... Hoadie ------------- Loose wimmen tightened here |

Dude, you can have the Ross! Aside from the wall-I don't want one. Just back from the WWI commencement ceremony. Lotsa stuff on display after the service. Coupla WWII vets said same thing to me. Ross had a great rep, till the bolts flew back & they jammed in the field. John is almost 92. He went thru it all ('39 - 45) Sharp as a tack, too. He knew from the vets before him how bad they were. I sent you info on that stuff, as well. But..I like the idea of some med-rae moose staek, case o' beer, & some Enfield shootin would be a good idea...C'mon up - we'll have a grand time!
