This extract from the biography of Charles-Michel d’IRUMBERRY DE SALABERRY captures the importance of the only major battle fought in Lower Canada:

“From that time, the battle of Châteauguay took on a legendary character and became a source of popular pride: the Canadians, commanded by one of their own, had displayed their bravery, their military capacity, and their loyalty in repelling the Americans.”
