Heroines of Canadian History
The following sketches were originally pre-pared, without any
idea of publication, in the form of an address to the Lennox and
Adding-ton Historical Society, and it is at the request of that
Society that I now consent that they appear in their present form. I
regret that time and opportunity have not placed within my reach
other records which must be in existence in different parts of our
country. I feel confident that a careful search of all available
documents bearing upon the early history of Canada would reveal many
other striking illustrations of the heroic spirit of the early
settlers.
For the information upon which these narratives are based, I desire
to acknowledge my indebtedness to Parkman's Pioneers of France in
the New World, Canniff''s Settlement of Upper Canada, Miss Machar's
Stories of New France, Mrs. Currie's Story of Laura Secord, Miss
FitzGibbon's A Veteran of 1812, Picturesque Canada, Dr. Ryerson's
Loyalists of America and Their Times, Withrow's History of Canada,
Lady Edgar's Ten Years of Upper Canada, Mrs. Wheeler's Story of
Abigail Becker, and to Mr. J. C. Walsh, Managing Editor of the
Montreal Herald, and Mr. C. M. Warner, President of the Lennox and
Addington Historical Society.
