Canada on Fire
The War of 1812
Jennifer Crump
978-1-554887538 / $19.99
The summer of 1812 saw the beginning of one of the most brutal wars to take place on Canadian soil. With more than 1,600 people killed and a battlefront that extended from Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia to the Columbia River in what is now British Columbia, the war featured many brave men and women who fended off much larger American forces.
Canada on Fire is an exciting account of the War of 1812 as told through the stories of the heroes who helped to defend Canada, people such as Mohawk chief John Norton, who led a small army into battle against the wishes of his tribe, and Red George Macdonnell, who spent the war defending the St. Lawrence River.
With descriptions of the battle at Lundy’s Lane, the adventures of the Sea Wolves, and the antics of James FitzGibbon and his Bloody Boys, Canada on Fire reveals the War of 1812 as it has seldom been seen.

Celebrated as the saviour of Upper Canada, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock was a charismatic leader who won the respect not only of his own troops, but also of the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and even men among his enemy. His motto could well have been “speak loud and look big.” Although this attitude earned him a reputation for brashness, it also enabled his success and propelled him into the significant role he would play in the War of 1812.
