The Battle of Long Sault occurred over a five-day period in early May 1660 during the Beaver Wars. It was fought between French colonial militia, with their Huron and Algonquin allies, against the Iroquois Confederacy.Some historians theorize that they called off an intended attack because one of their chiefs was killed in the battle, while others claim that the battle provided enough trophies to temper Iroquois aims.
