On October 8th 1814, the Americans sent 2,000 soldiers to the settlement of Cook's Mills to cross Lyon's Creek in order to attack the British in Chippawa from the unguarded west. At the settlement of Cook's Mills, the Americans met 750 British soldiers under the command of General Riall as they tried to cross Lyon's Creek. A short but violent exchange took place which resulted in many casualties on both sides. The Americans were forced to retreat back to Fort Erie and failed in their effort to mount a suprise attack against the British. Cache is a small camoed container with a log, pencil and small swag.
