Lieutenant Colonel John MacDonnell leads his militia in the counter attack

MacDonnell's counter attack allowed time for British reinforcements to reach the battle. He was to be fatally wounded in the charge. For a musical tribute to the man, listen to 'MacDonnell on the Heights' by Stan Rogers. Rogers was arguably the finest song writer Canada has produced and his tragic death in an aircraft fire in Cincinnati was a major loss to music. A tribute to the vagaries of fame.
