The Battle of Queenston, Octr. 13th 1813. / Which ended in a complete Victory on the part of the British, having captured 927 Men, killed or wounded about 500. Taken 1400 Stand of Arms, a Six Pounder, and a Stand of Colours.
London: J.W. Laird, 1836. Notes: Bouchette, quoted in deVolpi: "The Queenston Heights have become famous in the annals of Canadian History, much less for the battle which was fought there on the 13th of October, 1812, than for the disastrous event to which it led. It was here that General Brock fell, whilst gallantly leading two companies up the hill against a superior force, strongly stationed on the heights. Shortly after this awful catastrophe, General Sheaffe arrived, and succeeding to the command, immediately collected all his effective forces, and making a judicious and spirited attack, completely routed the Americans, and took seven hundred and sixty-four prisoners."
