French Mills

Winter 1813 for the Glens
Were the Glens involved in any of these raids across the Niagara during December of 1813 or were they back in York or further east?

Haversack buckle
Interesting. I want one too!
Take note of the buckle on the haversack - never seen one of those before. Wonder if that was only supplied to troops on the continent?

As I have had much experience with cattle in my teens (yes, I was an urban cowboy - long story) I still think they cow would have been best left behind especially when trying to walk along the bottom of the escarpment. We need to borrow a milk cow, get it in ...

There was no cow...
