Leadership and Victory in Lower Canada: Charles-Michel de Salaberry (1778-1829)

Charles-Michel d'Irumberry de Salaberry was born in Beauport, Lower Canada. He was the eldest of four brothers. For generations, his family had been officers of the royal army in what was, by de Salaberry's time, Lower Canada and his family had built close ties to Britain's royal family. England's Prince Edward Augustus played an important role in assisting de Salaberry's career at several key moments.

De Salaberry himself enlisted in the 44th Foot Regiment in 1792, when he was 14 years old. From that time until 1810, he served primarilyoverseas in the Caribbean, Ireland, and the Netherlands. He returned to Lower Canada in 1810 and was made a brevet-major.

[...]

Despite the legend arising around de Salaberry and the Battle of Châteauguay, including the assertion that 300 Canadians had forced the retreat of 7,000 Americans, the significance of that battle and de Salaberry's role in it remain indisputable despite historical exaggeration. The actions and heroism of de Salaberry and the Voltigeurs remain key moments in the War of 1812.

De Salaberry himself went on to have a successful career in the Legislature of Lower Canada. He died atChambly in 1829.
