At the Battle of Lundy's Lanemarker both sides claimed victory, but because the U.S. forces had suffered so many casualties they pulled back to Fort Eriemarker.Following their return to the fort, the British under Gordon Drummond attempted to capture the fort and the Siege of Fort Eriemarker followed.The Americans were able to hold out and the British eventually lifted the siege after suffering severe losses. After a small engagement at Cook's Millsmarker, American forces commanded by General George Izard abandoned Fort Erie and returned to the U.S. side.
