Laura Secord: A Story of Courage - with week numbers

by Janet Lunn Author

(From Amazon): The war between Great Britain and the United States was a bitter one. For two years, from the summer of 1812 to the winter of 1814, fierce and bloody battles were fought.Laura Secord never thought of herself as brave. She was gentle, shy, and soft-spoken. But she was brave. When American officers took over her home, demanding food, she heard them boasting about a plan that would give them an easy victory over the British troops. Laura's husband, James, would have gladly warned the British, but he had been badly injured. It fell to Laura to make the grueling trip.Janet Lunn, one of the country's finest writers of historical fiction, recounts the tale of Laura's dreadful journey with fresh detail and masterly prose. Her writing is perfectly complemented by Maxwell Newhouse's astounding paintings.
