On October 5, 1813 a British Army under the command of General Henry Proctor stopped its retreat and turned to face and American army under the command of General William Henry Harrison. The battle was short sharp and blood and saw the defeat of the British, resulting in the death of the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh. However victory did not bring the Americans the strategic victory they need and the British where able to pull their forces back to camps at Burlington Height, present day Hamilton Ontario. On October 5, 2013 historic re-enactors from Canada and the United States came together to recreate that blood day.
