Visit a windswept hill, overlooking the St.
Lawrence River, where a red-roofed stone windmill was the scene of a
bloody turning point in Canadian history. From the grounds of the Battle
of the Windmill National Historic Site, gaze at the waves and imagine
the boats of an invading force of American ‘Hunters’ sailing across the
river to do battle with British soldiers and local militia in the fight
for Upper Canada.
Rendez-vous sur une colline balayée par les vents,
surplombant le fleuve Saint-Laurent, et visitez un moulin en pierre au
toit rouge qui s’y dresse. Cet endroit a été le théâtre d’un événement
sanglant de l’histoire canadienne. Depuis ce lieu historique national de
la Bataille-du-Moulin-à-Vent, contemplez les vagues et imaginez les
bateaux des envahisseurs, les « Chasseurs » américains, qui traversaient
le fleuve pour venir se battre contre les soldats britanniques et les
miliciens locaux afin d’obtenir le contrôle du Haut-Canada.
