He had not expected to find the British in strength on this side of the Niagara River... What followed was one of the bloodiest and most hard-fought military actions in North American history... When dawn came, more than 1600 men lay dead or wounded. In his interpretation of a still-controversial action, Donald E. Graves fills in the planning and operational background of the Niagara campaign of 1814... He narrates the action at Lundy's Lane and provides a thorough examination of the weaponry, tactics, organization, and prominent personalities of the two opposing armies. In what is possibly the most detailed analysis of musket-period combat to appear in print, THE BATTLE OF LUNDY'S LANE will appeal to readers interested in the much-neglected War of 1812, American and Canadian local history, and the development of the U.S. and Canadian armies." .
