About Shootout at the J.W. Lewis House The Bakery (J.W. Lewis House)It was the "Alamo"/last stand of the Canadian Forces in Fort Erie - they put up a good fight in the town, including bayoneting 3 Fenians- which did not happen that often in wartime at that time - it spooked the Fenians and delayed the assault. - Colonel Don Harrington, USA, retired, from Maryland, USA
