THE BATTLE OF
QUEENSTON HEIGHTS

LA BATAILLE DES HAUTEURS
DE QUEENSTON

In the early morning of 13 October 1812, American troops
under Major-General Stephen Van Rensellaer crossed the
Niagara River and took possession of Queenston Heights.
Major-General Isaac Brock hurried from Fort George to lead
a small force against the invaders and was killed in an at-
tempt to regain the heights. In the afternoon, Major-General
Roger Hale Sheaffe with his force of British regulars, militia
and Indians from Fort George strengthened by reinforcements
from Chippawa, took the hill from the west flank, capturing
958 prisoners. This celebrated victory ended the American
offensive of 1812.

A l'aube du 13 octobre 1812, les troupes américaines du major-
général Stephen Van Rensellaer traversèrent la rivière Niagara
et s'emparèrent des hauteurs de Queenston. Le major-général
Isaac Brock, arrivant à la hâte du Fort George avec un
détachement, fut tué en essayant de les reprendre. L'après-
midi, le major-général Roger Hale Sheaffe arriva du fort
George avec une troupe composée de soldats britanniques, de
miliciens, d'Indiens, et des renforts de Chippawa. Il prit la
colline par le flanc ouest et fit 958 prisonniers. Cette célébré
victoire mitfin à l'offensive américaine de 1812.
