The battle was fought, not under the walls of the town, but somewhat to the north-east of it in the open country. Talbot's mistake lay in the confidence with which he attacked an entrenched army much stronger than his own, and especially in his contempt for Messire Jean Bureau's guns.

Indians could not be put under bonds to keep the peace, however: the Bureau's system being to let them kill first and explain afterwards.
