The Life and Correspondence of Sir Isaac Brock, K.B.: Interspersed with Notices of the Celebrated Indian Chief, Tecumseh, and Comprising Brief Memoirs of Daniel De Lisle Brock, Esq., Lieutenant E.W. Tupper, R.N., and Colonel W. De Vic Tupper
The actual letters of the man who saved Canada. Sir Isaac Brock's unpublished correspondence sat untouched for nearly thirty years after his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812, until his nephew Ferdinand Brock Tupper assembled them into this volume. What emerges is not the statue or the legend, but the flesh-and-blood commander: ambitious, compassionate, fiercely devoted to the defense of Upper Canada. The letters illuminate his military mind, his relationships with family, and his extraordinary alliance with Tecumseh, the Shawnee chief whose forces proved indispensable to British survival in 1812. This is primary source history at its most immediate: the thoughts of a man racing against time and invasion, written in haste between battles. For anyone seeking to understand the real figures behind the War of 1812, or the foundations of Canadian identity, Brock's own words remain the most vital witness.
