1814 war

[ejh1027]

I have been doing alot of history research in my town, I found there was a major battle between Americans and the british right in my neighborhood, so my question is, where to look! I have hit a large field, but all that turned up was an old metal stake of some sort.... Are the woods a good area to walk around, or should I stick to the fields and farm land?? Thanks for any help

John, does any of your research cover the area of the St. Lawrence River for 1813? I have a a couple of book resources on the the war on the Niagara Frontier that I came across in my research.
