During the War of 1812, on October 11, 1813, an American expeditionary force entered the Missisquoi Bay of Lake Champlain in Quebec, Canada, intent on raiding the area.

[1] Clark's force sailed into the bay on one sloop, ten bateaux, and two scows carrying a total of 400 Americans.

Colonel Clarke advanced with his detachment into the enemy’s country as far as the South River within 60-66 miles of Isle-aux Noix.

Clarke’s raiding force captured the enemy’s picket or advanced guard, took 60 stands of arms, four oxen, and six horses.

Then Colonel Issac Clarke withdrew safely back to his base of operations in Missisquoi Bay.
