1812 Action on the Niagara frontier

crown forces advance on an American occupied farm
The Americans have dug in
A mix of regular and militia units
Furious exchange of musketry at long range creators of a smoky scene but little else 
the future Sir Robert Borden looks on
the 60th Rifles were in Canada not the 95th
the Crown forms line
the Americans rally
And what happens next
In with the bayonet 
American troops fall back 
More furious firing but hitting little 
And the left flank begins to chase the stragglers 
Time for tea.
And some beaver tails
