Author: [HWK]Claudius(AC and FB) The Battle of Longwoods, the war of 1812. On March 4th 1814 A patrol of British soldiers find a small group of American soldiers. The Americans had a strong position and made it even stronger by constructing an abatis the night before. They also watered down the sides of the ravine which made them very slippery.The Kent militia under the command of Captain Caldwell were sent to outflank the Americans to the north. The native warriors took the American right flank, and the regulars under the command of Captain Basden would try a frontal assault on the American position. This plan proved to be a disaster. The British force was cut down by rifle fire. When night fell the British retreated. The American commander knew that he could no longer take the British post at Delaware, Ontario. That same night Captain Holmes having defended his position on the ravine withdrew his force to Detroit. The British force had 14 men killed and 52 wounded. The American force had 4 men killed and 3 men wounded. After the battle both sides abandon this part of the province.

Author: [HWK]Claudius (FB Only) In the war of 1812, after the loss of the British fleet on Lake Erie, British General Proctor no longer had enough men to defend the south western frontier of Upper Canada (Ontario). Much to the disgust of his native allies, he abandoned Fort Maldin and withdrew into the interior of the province along the Thames River. His small army of 500 regulars was joined by 500 natives under the command of Tecumseh. His native allies were quite dismayed by his retreat so near the town of Morriston he was persuaded to make his stand. He set up his line with his flanks protected by a creek and forest on one side and a river to his south. The position also had a swamp in front of him which he felt would force the US to either concentrate their army into a narrow approach or to divide their forces. The American army under the command of Harrison (later president of the US), were hot on their heals. Eager to once and for all destroy the Native alliance founded by Tecumseh. The Americans had with them nearly 1000 calvary, a rarity in the war of 1812. Harrison the the Calvary commander realized that Protors deployment was set in a strong position to repulse infantry, but could be easily crushed by calvary. So begins the only major calvary charge of the war of 1812. The battle was an easy American victory. It was one of the first major land victories for the US in the war of 1812.
