An Account of the Battle of Chateauguay / Being a Lecture Delivered at Ormstown, March 8th, 1889

The author delivers a close, chronological lecture recounting an early nineteenth-century fight on the Châteauguay River, describing troop movements, defensive works, and leadership such as De Salaberry, plus vivid scenes involving small detachments and Indigenous participants. The account synthesizes contemporary reports, eyewitness recollections and local traditions, includes appended notes and illustrations, and discusses battlefield topography, contested anecdotes about pursuit and plunder, and varying local memories. Emphasis falls on how limited forces used terrain and deception to check a larger advance, while the appendix and footnotes compile personal testimonies and material traces found near the field.
