Here on 5 July 1814, an American army under Major-
General Jacob Brown launched the last major invasion of
Canada during the War of 1812. The Americans defeated a
British and Canadian force commanded by Major-General
Phineas Riall consisting of regulars, militia and Aboriginal
warriors. During the engagement, about 200 men were
killed and over 500 wounded. After four months of heavy
fighting, with major action at Lundy's Lane, Fort Erie and
Cooks Mills, the invaders were forced back to the United
States.

C'est ici que, le 5 juillet 1814, l'armée américaine dirigée
par le major-général Jacob Brown lança sa dernière grande
offensive en sol canadien lors de la guerre de 1812. Les
forces britanniques et canadiennes, rgroupant des soldats,
des miliciens et des guerriers autochtones sous le
commandement du major-général Phineas Riall, perdirent
cette bataille qui se solda par quelque 200 morts et 500
blessés. Toutefois, quatre mois de luttes et de combats
acharnés à Lundy's Lane, à Fort Erie et à Cooks Mills,
repoussèrent les envahisseurs et forcèrent leur retraite vers
les États-Unis.

LAURA SECORD
(1775-1868)
This celebrated heroine of the War of
1812 is a renowned figure in Canadian
History. Determined to warn the British of
an impending attack on Beaver
Dams, Secord set out from her home on
June 22, 1813, on a dangerous mission.
She traveled alone for over 30 kilometres
behind enemy lines, struggling to make
it to the De Cew farmhouse, where
she informed Lieutenant FitzGibbon
about the American plan. Later in
the 19th century, a first generation of
women historians championed Secord's
courageous deed with the goal of
uncovering and popularizing women's
contributions to the history of Canada.

Cette célèbre héroïne de la guerre
de 1812 est une figure marquante de
l`histoire du Canada. Déterminée à
prévenir les Britanniques d`un imminent
assaut américain à Beaver Dams, Secord
quitta son foyer, le 22 juin 1813, pour
accomplir une mission périlleuse. Elle
franchit seule plus de 30 kilomètres
derrière les lignes ennemies, parvenant
à grand-peine à la ferme De Cew où elle
informa le lieutenant FitzGibbon des
plans d`attaque américains. Plus tard au
XIXe siècle, une première génération
d`historiennes célébra ce courageux
exploit afin de faire reconnaître l`apport
des femmes à l`épopée canadienne.
