On November 11, 1813 the rear guard of an American Army under the command of Major General James Wilkinson turned and faced a force of British, Canadian and First Nations Warriors under the command of Lt. Col. Joseph Morrison. As the two forces met and began to skirmish then join in general battle, the ground favoured the British as it allowed the fewer but far more disciplined troops to dominate the battle field. At the end of the day the British held the field and the Americans crossed back over to the south bank of the St. Lawrence river and ended their campaign to capture Montreal. On the weekend of July 13/14 2013 historic re-enactors from both sides of the border came together to recreate this historic moment.
