THE US ARMY, SCOTT'S BRIGADE
Brigadier General Winfield Scott, commanded the First Brigade of the Left Division of the US Army.
He had tried to obtain the correct blue uniform for his men during the spring of 1814,
but failed and was forced to accept the grey jackets usually worn as fatigues or undergarments,
instead of the regulation short tailed blue coatee.
His men would make this humble garment famous,
and today the grey uniforms of the West Point Cadets
are worn to perpetuate the memory of the Left Division during the 1814 Niagara campaign.

Except in the area of small arms fire, American and British drill differed little during this period
The U.S. army was the only fighting force of the day which had its soldiers
aim their weapons and fire in their own time. So distinct was the different firing methods
that at the earlier Battle of Crysler’s Farm, the family hiding in the farmer’s basement
could distinguish the Americans’ irregular “pop, pop, pop” from
the regular volleys of fire from the British army, which sounded “like a tremendous roll of thunder”.
This month’s releases of 4 figures in different stages of loading,
will allow that extra variety to be added to the look of the U.S. firing line.
