Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tory´s Daughter: A Romance of the North-West In the following pages will be found a somewhat romantic story of the year of the war of 1812 - 1813, on our north-western border, written from the ground occupied by the refugees of the Revolution and their descendants in Canada. The fortunes of my people are so interwoven with the incidents of the national struggle, that their history be comes largely a history of the war itself, and of some of the commanders on both sides. A study has been made of many of the writers of that stirring but now obscure period, American, British, and Canadian, and an attempt made, subordinate to the main purpose, to place the leading incidents within easy apprehension of the reader. Misapprehensions and misstatements have not intentionally been repeated. Some popular stories and beliefs on one side as on the other, have been corrected. I may add that for all the statements in reference to the Shawanoe chief, save some of the incidents of his personal relations to my characters, there is ample authority, as the references will show.
