September 21, 1812 Raid on Gananoque

This military raid was probably carried out by nearby Algonquin Anishinabek. Location of this military raid was not too far from Kingston, Ontario, which is Algonquin territory. On September 21, 1812 a force of probably 200 Ojibway Soldiers attacked the white settlement of Gananoque, Ontario, which was being defended by around 40 white soldiers. The goal of the Anishinabek was to get to the white villages supply of weapons and ammunition. After a short battle, the white soldiers quickly retreated from their village which allowed the Anishinabe Soldiers to enter the village to take the supplies they had been ordered to take by their commanders.
