They left York on May 8 departing for the Niagara peninsula. where they required several weeks to recuperate Sheaffe's troops endured an equally miserable fourteen-day retreat overland to Kingston Around 300 to 400 Iroquois warriors assembled and marched towards York shortly after the battle to launch an attack on the American garrison.
