Everything about Battle Of Saint-pierre totally explained
After the failed Colonial assault on Quebec City on December 31, 1775, the Colonists settled down to a siege for the duration of the winter. Not far from Saint-Pierre-de-la-rivière-sud the 2nd Canadian Regiment, a regiment of pro-independence Canadians under Clément Gosselin, clashed with pro-British Canadians militia under Louis Liénard de Beaujeu.
The pro-British Canadians took shelter in a stone farmhouse, but rapidly capitulated after realizing their situation was untenable. Rumor has it that one of the few casualties was a priest named Charles-François Bailly de Messein, who would later achieve notoriety in 1791.
While the battle was short, it receives some recognition because it was one of the few skirmishes fought between principally Canadian forces.
