		The battle of Châteauguay, in view of the important results that followed it, is an event which all Canadians will appreciate, and to which posterity will have reason to point the finger of admiration.
		All nationalities concerned in building up this country, when united by a common danger, bore in it an honorable part, as they fought side by side in defence of their homes and those that were dear to them, from the wanton aggression of an ungenerous foe.
		For instance, at Bull's Run, in the first two battles of the American Civil War, it was a toss-up which side would run away from the other, and they decided it by one side doing so the first day, and the other side the second.

		Although for obvious reasons the battle was not widely reported to the American press, the Canadians hailed it as a great victory.
		This engagement, which would of course be long remembered by the men who fought in it, was named for the dense forest in which it was fought; it became known as the Battle of Chateauguay Woods.
		Precisely how the name of that northern battle became affixed to the two local neighborhoods will probably never be known, but some reasonable assumption may be made.

		On receiving orders from his superior, Lieutenant-General John Armstrong, to effect a junction with General Wilkinson at the mouth of Chateauguay, Hampton left camp with 4,000 troops on 19 October, taking some supply wagons and artillery.

		In October of 1813, American Major General Wade Hampton marched his army from Lake Champlain down the Chateauguay River towards the St. Lawrence.
		This would serve as a feint in support of General Wilkinson’s main thrust against Kingston or, should Wilkinson switch his objective to Montreal, it would allow the two armies to combine on the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
		De Salaberry complained bitterly that Sir George Prevost and General de Watteville, who never came near the action, took most of the credit for themselves.

		P.G. Smith's excellent writing about the Battle of Châteauguay was virtually beyond criticism (and believe me, as a Canadian I researched it thoroughly).
		P.G. Smith did write a tremendously well-documented article about the Battle of Châteauguay in the October 2003 issue -- especially for a Quebecois like me, it was a pleasure to read.
		The first was in Jon Guttman's editorial, referring to "what would later be called Canada." The country was called Canada since the mid-1500s and was the principal part of New France, along with Acadia and Louisiana.

		Another officer of the circle—who seems to have been the ablest—was Colonel James Purdy, on whom the brunt of the American work and fighting were to fall, and who seems to have done his best in a struggle against natural difficulties and against the incompetency of both his commander and men.
		Brodie informed the writer, that the settlers on the Châteauguay at the time of the battle, excepting of course the militia, were prepared to flee towards Montreal, intending to take with them what household effects they conveniently could, should the Canadian forces suffer defeat.
		[19] All full accounts of the battle from this stage on are chiefly founded on that remarkable letter of a participant signing “Temoin Oculaire,” published in Montreal, 29 Oct., 1813. ; It is open, however, to some corrections of detail.
