The Battle of Ridgeway (sometimes the Battle of Lime Ridge or Limestone Ridge) was fought in the vicinity of the town of Fort Erie across the Niagara River from Buffalo, New York, near the village of Ridgeway, Canada West, currently Ontario, Canada, on June 2, 1866, between Canadian troops and an irregular army of Irish-American invaders, the Fenians. It was the largest engagement of the Fenian Raids, the first modern industrial-era battle to be fought by Canadians and the first to be fought only by Canadian troops and led exclusively by Canadian officers. The battlefield was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1921 and is the last battle fought within the current boundaries of Ontario against a foreign invasion. The action at Ridgeway has the distinction of being the only arm

  • Bitwa pod Ridgeway – największa potyczka wojsk brytyjskich i kanadyjskiej milicji z najeźdźcami fenian. Oddziały tej organizacji przekroczyły granice Kanady z terytorium USA dwa dni przed datą bitwy. Siły fenian wyruszyły z Fort Erie, który opanowały w pierwszym dniu wojny i maszerowały wzdłuż rzeki Niagara w kierunku Chippawa. Zamierzeniem fenian było zajęcie miasteczka, co dałoby im kontrolę nad górnym biegiem kanału Welland, niezwykle ważnego szlaku komunikacyjnego. W tym czasie Brytyjczycy zdołali zgromadzić oddział zbrojny składający się z kilkunastu kompanii pieszych strzelców. Brytyjczycy wyruszyli w stronę oddziałów przeciwnika. (pl)
