"Perhaps the best assessment of Lundy's Lane and one that applies
  equally to the men of both armies, was Brown's [Major General
  Jacob Jennings, U.S. Army] statement that 'the battle of the 25th,
  it is believed, will find but few parallels. More desperate fighting
  has rarely been known. I  hope the nation [US] will be satisfied
  by our conduct - we have endeavoured to do our duty' "
