Two of Canada's proudest moments from the War of 1812 were thebattles of Ch teauguay and Crysler's Farm. Dubbed "The Hero of Ch teauguay", Lieutenant Colonel Charles-Michel de Salaberry was a distinguished British Army commander who vaulted into history at the Battle of Ch teauguay in October 1813, when he and his outnumbered Voltigeurs forced thousands of American forces attempting to capture the city of Montr al to retreat. This was the first of several victories thatprevented American plans to take Montr al-including Crysler's Farm in November 1813.
