Fort George in Trail of Glory[]
Fort George became Brigadier Winfield Scott's military target after Fort Erie fell on July 3, 1814. However, word soon made its way to the fort of the American advance. British troops under Phineas Riall met the Americans at the Battle of Chippewa on July 5, which was a disaster for the British. After the battle, Riall retreated back into Fort George.
