The British appeared on the American flank around 2 p.m. that day. With the Americans outflanked/out maneuvered and surprised, they attempted to reposition their troops to meet the unexpected attacks from their right. The British were slow to attack which bought time for the Americans to position some of their men on high ground near the Birmingham Meeting House, a few miles north of Chadds Ford.

    The Raid on Gananoque 1812 was led by Captain Benjamin Forsyth. Forsyth and seventy of his men landed on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Forsyth knew that his attack on Gananoque would be a success, considering that Colonel Joel Stone’s army may have looked like soldiers but in fact many were farmers and labourers with a couple training practices under their belts. Forsyth’s men met Stone’s sixty deployed into line, primed and loaded. With a rifleman dead and a few wounded, the next move fell on Forsyth. Lusting for glory and having riflemen with months of training under his comman, Forsyth ordered his men to charge. The militia immediately broke and fled. Forsyth understood his attack on Gananoque would arouse the nearby Kingston garrison, and he could not linger and within thirty minutes his little flotilla was on its way back to Sackets Harbor. As soon as intelligence of his attack was conveyed to Kingston a detachment of troops and militia were dispatched to intercept the invaders, but they had already retired.
