I had come across mention of this battle taking place on Oct. 23, 1812, but have had a real problem finding out anything about it.
It is located in what was called Lower Canada, today's Quebec, Canada. The American Army had gathered at the head of Lake Champlain under the command of General Dearborn (Fort Dearborn?).
British companies were placed at spots where the American attack seemed most likely between St. Regis and the Yamaska River with a larger force taking position position at Lacudie to guard Montreal.
I came across one source saying the Americans didn't attack in 1812.
And that was about all I found out.
If anyone finds out more, please let me know.
