Fort Meigs is awesome!
It is not easy to imagine battles being fought so near here, but it sure is easy to imagine the hardships. The swamp(s) alone would have been difficult to deal with and then add the cold...
Lake Erie and Commodore Perry did play a pivotal role, too. Saw a great documentary on our local (Toledo, Ohio) PBS station on the battles in Lake Erie.
The massacre of the prisoners didn’t exactly end Proctor’s career but it definitely killed its growth.
Canadians weren’t wild about the war in the first place and it angered them a great deal when Proctor left the American prisoners and wounded to be slaughtered by the indians.
I visited the Perry Victory Memorial in Put-In-Bay, also. That was a tough visit. I was there for a bachelor party and I was so hungover I could barely move.
