To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both shores between Queenston Heights and these forts. A cannonade between two forts, three- fourths of a mile apart, lasting a whole day, during which 4, 000 shots were fired, but in which few men were killed or wounded and neither fort very seriously damaged, shows the inefficiency of the artillery of that date. In May, 1813, transports having been built and the American fleet having arrived, an attack from the lake was made by the American troops, under cover of the guns of Fort Niagara and ...of the fleet. The British batteries at and beyond the mouth of the river were carried, and inside of an hour Fort George and all its dependent batteries were in the Americans' control. They held it till December of that year, when, on the approach of a strong British force, the incompetent McClure decided to abandon it. He sent the garrison over to Fort Niagara, and gave the people of the village of Newark ( around Fort George ) twenty-four hours to move out. Then he set fire to that village and it was destroyed, the inhabitants suffering bitterly from the cold.
