Battle of Seven Oaks.
Re: Name that Battle!
Is that, for the period, antique morion helmet in the background, or is it just badly drawn hat?

I think it's a hat, you can see it better in this colorized pic.

Re: Name that Battle!
Correct, it's the Battle of Seven Oaks
I thought that would be harder! The General has the floor....The Battle of Seven Oaks[2] was a violent confrontation in the Pemmican War between the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and the North West Company (NWC), rivals in the fur trade, that took place on 19 June 1816, the climax of a long dispute in western Canada.[3] The Métis people fought for the North West Company, and they called it "the Victory of Frog Plain" (la Victoire de la Grenouillère)

Re: Name that Battle!
It could be the 1799 siege, but 1792 is okay too.
That makes it your go.
