Map of the battle of Crysler's Farm, 11 November 1813

The open fields of John Crysler's farm on the north shore of the St. Lawrence river made for a very European-style battlefield. Amongst the largely British defenders present at the battle of Crysler's Farm on 11 November 1813 was Crysler himself, serving as a lieutenant in the 1st Dundas Militia.
