Talk:Battle of Long Sault

Cleanup

Removed an extra heading named "Final attack", which largely retold the final paragraph from the previous heading. Also renamed the prior heading as "Battle" rather than "First Battle" since lacking the latter removed heading, has no context for being the first. I'll paste the contents of the removed paragraph here in case a better editor than I sees fit to merge any of the information.

"Shortly after arriving at Long Sault, Dollard's party was set up by an Iroquois forward attack party numbering about 300 strong with a 400 warriors waiting in reserve as reinforcements. The French took refuge in the derelict stockade and succeeded in holding off the Iroquois for one week until water and gunpowder ran low. The Iroquois warriors called forth reinforcements, and with certain death upon them, some of the Huron who had been previously been adopted by the Iroquois (through other encounters and who had been fighting with the Iroquois this time) began to persuade their brethren to join the Iroquois and avoid a certain death with the French. This ploy succeeded and many of the Huron warriors who had been fighting with the French defected to join the ranks of the Iroquois.

With the loss of their native allies, the fate of Dollard des Ormeaux was sealed. The Iroquois waited for their reinforcements before leading a final assault on the French. The French party's demise was guaranteed when a gunpowder keg exploded within the palisade, ripping open their defenses and allowing the Iroquois to overrun the defenses. All but nine of Dollard's party were killed in the siege and ensuing breach of the defenses. The surviving nine were taken prisoner and killed later. For reasons unknown, the Iroquois did not continue east to raid Ville-Marie following their conflict with Dollard's party." --81.104.31.135 (talk) 00:59, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
