Battle of Queenston Heights
This painting depicts the Battle of Queenston Heights. The battle took place in October 1812 and was a victory for the British. The American invasion force, which has crossed the Niagara River from the American territory (right) was dealt a major blow. The painting itself dates from 1866 when the Niagara peninsula region was again invaded from the United States, this time by the Fenians, an Irish republican organization.
