During the War of 1812,
Canadian and British forces battled against the United States with great
determination. Many of these soldiers displayed incredible bravery in the face
of the enemy. The most legendary act, however, was performed by a civilian
woman. This is the amazing story of Laura Secord, a devoted wife and mother who
risked life and limb to warn the British military of an impending American
attack. This book will be especially fascinating for readers interested in
Canadian history and biography.
"Laura plodded forward. The sun began to drop, but the
heart continued. Her clothing was soaked with sweat, her feet ached, and her
eyes blurred from the heat, the humidity, and fatigue. Still she kept moving."
