At 0910 the view from behind the Redan as Fenwick leads his brigade.
At 0910 more N.Y Militia Volunteers are established below the heights and are ready to engage the Queenston Group.
At 0910; sensing that the tide is turning to the American advantage General Van Rensselaer orders the Sixth Brigade into the boats to reinforce the invasion. More militia suddenly appear ready to join their comrades.
The session concluded at 0910. Despite the unexpected set back of the 13th's failure to take the Redan earlier, the tide seems to changed to the American's favour with the Artillery Infantry's successful attack. With the Redan and most of the heights in American hands will the gunners now use the 18 pounder to their advantage or will the Norton's Native's have the courage to stand and skirmish with the American artillerymen?
Stay tuned to Session Four.
