Photograph of Alexander Solomon Walbridge, c.1860. After the Patriotes were discovered in the Hiram Moore house, A. S. Walbridge decided to knock the door down with the butt of his rifle and capture the rebels instead of waiting for the arrival of the Canadian militia. To spur on the men to follow his lead, Walbridge shouted: "To hell with such a plan! We'll take them prisoners now and you may surround the house in the morning if you want to."
