History of the LUNDY'S LANE 1814 Battle Streamer
After Chippewa, Brown's army planned an assault on Forts George and Niagara, yet without cooperation from Chauncey's fleet, the operation was abandoned. Regrouping at Chippewa, Brown then led a march towards Lundy's Lane by July 24-25, 1814. Unaware of the British's concentration of troops, Brown's brigade, including Scott's, encountered enemy forces at the junction of Queenston Road and Lundy's Lane. The ensuing battle, involving nearly 6,000 troops, resulted in heavy casualties on both sides but no clear victor. Though the Americans retreated to Chippewa, the battle marked the end of their invasion of Canada. Despite a failed British siege of Fort Erie, the Americans withdrew in November. Meanwhile, Commodore Thomas Macdonough's triumph on Lake Champlain compelled the British to halt their attack on Plattsburg.
