Don Hickey & Jim Yaworsky: The British Retreat Up the Thames - September 1813

Don Hickey is joined by Jim Yaworsky. Jim is a long time Windsor resident who has studied local history and also reenacted it as a member of the 41st Regiment.

In this episode we look at what happens with the British garrison after the American victory in the Battle of Lake Erie.

We follow the British and their indigenous allies and also keep track of the progress of the American army in its pursuit!

Referenced is a PowerPoint that is a much more detailed examination of the retreat as well as the Battle of the Thames (Moraviantown) that includes illustrations and maps.
