It was a great loss, the death of Major General Isaac Brock. He was a brave man, and served his country well. Unfortunately on October the 13, 1812 at approximately 4:00 am, a bullet was shot and it pierced Brock's chest.
The Americans had attacked British land, a place not far from Queenston. Brock was woken up early in the morning by gun shots, so he took his troops ( witch was not many ) and went to the place where the battle was. As he walked up the hi9ll where the Americans were he was shot. The few British troops retreated to wait for more enforcement. By mid- afternoon Major General Roger Sheaffe led British troops back to the battle field, accompanied by Ahyouwaighs ( the leader of the Haudenosaunee ) and his men. Britain won the battle and did not lose many men, and were able to capture 958 of the american troops.
