- Lot Description
Silver, 36mm dia., engraved on the edge ROWI JAHOARON, WARRIOR, with ribbon and CHATEAUGUAY clasp. These medals were issued in 1848 for living veterans who had been recognized for service in engagements from 1793-1814. The Battle of the Chateauguay was one of only three engagements in the War of 1812 for which medals were issued. On October 26, 1813, a British force including Canadian militia and Mohawk warriors repelled a much larger contingent of Americans attempting to invade Lower Canada en route to Montreal. Rowi Johoaron, a Mohawk living near the Oka Mission, was one of only 103 surviving Canadian Indian warriors to receive the General Service Medal for actions in the War of 1812.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Dents in the edge of the rim, else very good.Condition
