Sheaffe's Shambles :
Marching in Reverse to Victory at Queenston Heights
The 41st Regiment of Foot Military Living History Group was pleased to present the second installment in their popular 41st Regiment Lecture Series featuring noted historian and author Robert Malcomson. Mr. Malcomson is considered one of the leading experts on the War of 1812.
Mr. Malcomson spoke on the Battle of Queenston Heights and followed the last moments of Sir Isaac Brock's life. We learned about the dramatic shifts in the fortunes of the opposing forces right up to the stirring attack by the British and Canadian forces. Particular focus was given to the leadership of General Roger Sheaffe as he prepared the British line for the counterattack on the American position on top of Queenston Heights.
The lecture was held at the Iron Duke House at the Wellington Brewery in Guelph, Ontario on Friday, November 18th, 2005.
