The Story of Isaac Brock / Hero, Defender and Saviour of Upper Canada, 1812 - Walter R. Nursey

W .R. N.

Toronto, October, 1908.

Note.—Of the hundred and more books and documents consulted in a search for facts I would register my special obligations to Tupper's "Life of Brock"; Auchinleck's "History of the War of 1812-14"; Cruikshank's "Documentary History," and Richardson's "War of 1812" (edited by Casselman).
