	Battle of Fort George - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Fort George was a battle fought during the War of 1812, in which the Americans captured the British fort on western Lake Ontario.
		The fort's commander, General John Vincent, was unaware from which direction the invasion would come and decided to concentrate his forces along the Niagara River opposite the American batteries, figuring Dearborn would use the river defenses as cover for his attack.
		Vincent was in a position to be flanked and his attack had just been repulsed, he quickly decided that Fort George was to be abandoned and withdrew with such haste that women and children were left behind in the fort.

		Rather than a battle it would perhaps be more accurate to describe this contest as a siege, for the attack on Fort William Henry went on for days.
		While the heavy guns to the northwest pounded the log and earthen walls of the fort, another French force under the command of Brigadier Levis took up positions to the south and southwest of the main body of British, who contrary to popular belief, were encamped outside the walls of the fort.

		Major fortifications were built, and terrible battles were fought as these European nations tried to assert their sovereignty over the North American continent.
		As with all wars, these conflicts were brutal affairs; for when the seasoned troops of Europe, together with their colonial allies and native peoples, were not engaged in warfare amongst themselves, they were plagued by the harsh conditions brought on by the severe weather or disease.
