BATTLE OF CHIPPEWA

The Battle of Chippewa was a battle of the War of 1812. After the capture of Port Erie, General Brown advanced to attack the British at Chippewa on July the 5th,1814; the armies were only two miles apart. The British advance corps fled back upon the advancing main body. The British charge was successful at first, but repeated rallies, reinforcements and finally a flank movement changed the day. The fugitives destroyed the bridge over the Chippewa, and stopped the pursuit. The American loss was 355 in all, the British 604, of whom 236 were killed.
