"Issac Brock was a natural leader with a reputation for boldness and quick thinking. His ability to bluff was legendary... 'Most of the people have lost confidence. I, however, speak loud and look big.'" This book will be especially fascinating for all young readers interested in: Canadian history or adventure. In 1812 the United States invaded Canada. This exciting account of the stalwart defence of Canada and the ultimate victory over the American foes is told through the stories of six men and women involved in the conflict.
