Battle of the Windmill
Battle of the Windmill
During a four-day period in November, 1838 British troops and local militia defeated an invasion force of 300 American "Hunters" and Canadian rebels. The Battle of the Windmill victory prevented the invasion force from capturing Fort Wellington, Ontario, and cutting the St. Lawrence communications link, which would have left Upper Canada open to invasion.
