It was a simple earthen redoubt with four half-bastions and a ditch surrounded by an abattis (an entanglement of tree branches placed to impede an infantry assault). The “swallow tail” fortification on the north (top) side of the fort was designed but never completed. Fort Lernoult stood at what is today the intersection of Fort and Shelby streets in downtown Detroit. This is a detail of the Smith plan of 1790.

The British, of course, have scant memory of the War of 1812, it being a distant, grubby affair that seemed at the time almost in- significant next to their titanic struggle against Napoleonic France. But the implications on this side of the Atlantic were profound. Roughly 35,000 people would perish through three years of a bit- ter war that pitted brother against brother, cousin versus cousin. The War of 1812 is what ultimately gives both Canada and the United States their sense of identity. Just as there was a part of the planet widely known as “America” and peopled by “Americans” long before the U.S.
