Episode 3 of 3
American Retreat
- When
- 26 October 1813
- Where
- Chateauguay River ravine
After initial skirmishes, American forces under Izard deployed into line but found conventional tactics ineffective against the Canadians, forcing a retreat.
After Purdy's force had been in action for some time, Izard's force marched into the ravine facing de Salaberry's defences and deployed into line. These conventional tactics were almost entirely ineffective against the Canadians. Izard found himself under fire from De Salaberry and was forced to retreat through the woods to his starting-place.
