Canadian Forces Repel Hampton at Chateaugay in Key Action
Montreal reports a sharp clash where 300 Canadian troops under Lieut. Col. De Salaberry repulsed a larger American force led by Major General Hampton near Chateaugay. French Canadian voltigeurs, Militia, and Fencibles held four defensive lines, destroying bridges, repelling assaults, and forcing a retreat with light casualties on our side. The victory earns high praise from Governor General Baynes.
