Battle of Trout River
The Battle of Trout River was a military conflict that occurred on 27 May 1870. It was a part of the Fenian raids. This battle occurred outside of Huntingdon, Quebec near the international border about north of Malone, New York. The location of this battle should not be confused with Trout River in the Northwest Territories.
== Before the battle ==
The Fenians, an extremist group of Irish Republicans, were under the command of General John O'Neill and General Owen Starr, and the Canadians were under Col. George Bagot of the British 69th Regiment of Foot.〔Canadian Genealogy Resources, ("Fenians Gather on the Huntingdon Border" ), extract from ''(Troublous times in Canada; a history of the Fenian raids of 1866 and 1870 )'' by John Alexander MacDonald, published in 1910.〕〔〔Major Smyth, ''(Records of the Sixty-Ninth, or, South Lincolnshire regiment )'' (1870). p. 21〕 The day before, the Fenians had crossed the border to build several positions, which were apparently well chosen and built. However, due to lack of reinforcements, they crossed back onto American soil. At 7:00 in the morning of May 27, Starr initiated the conflict after receiving more troops, by crossing the Trout River and establishing a position on "the right and left roads, with his extreme right resting on the Trout River." 〔''(The Sydney Mail )'' (Australia), July 23, 1870〕 His force rested behind a post and rail fence which he added to the existing works. To this was added a very reliable route for retreat.
