The Forging of the Pikes, a Romance of the Upper Canadian Rebellion (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The Forging of the Pikes is a romance based on old political struggles in Upper Canada over eighty years ago. In the first part of the story an attempt has been made to give the viewpoint of the Reformers the Rebels who precipitated The Rebellion in 1837; in the latter part the attempt has been equally honest to give that of their opponents, the Tories or loyalists of the day. But when all has been said it will probably be the love-story of A lan and Barry that will attract the greater number of readers. In the construction of the story the author wishes to acknowledge with grateful thanks, not only the help given by a few pioneers, who still remember early days in the bush, but also that obtained from the following books: The Rebellion in Upper Canada, Dent; The Life of William Lyon Mackenzie, Lindsey; The Family Compact, Wallace; The Life of Sir John Beverley Robinson, Robinson; Landmarks of Toronto, Robertson; Toronto of Old, Dr. Scadding; and Mrs. Jameson s Winter Studies and Siunmer Rambles, from which has been taken the little Indian song, Ojib way Quaince.
