Battle of the Thames
Col. Johnsons mounted men charging a party of British artillerists and Indians, at the battle fought near Moravian Town October 2nd 1813.
Every American invasion of Canada ultimately failed. Most of them occurred in southwestern Upper Canada, far from Quebec City, the one place where the British could be decisively defeated. At the battle of the Thames (or Moraviantown) in 1813, however, depicted here, an American army killed Tecumseh and broke the alliance he helped lead.
