Battle Narrative
The Battle of La Prairie (August 11, 1691) was an attack made on the settlement of La Prairie, New France (now Province of Quebec, Canada), a frontier settlement not far from Montreal. An English and Iroquois force came north from Albany, New York to attack Montreal, but was repulsed with significant casualties by the French and their Indian allies. During the summer of 1691 a force led by Major Pieter Schuyler invaded the French settlements along the Richelieu River south of Montreal. Louis-Hector de Callière, the local French governor, responded by massing 700-800 French and allies at Fort Laprairie, on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River.
