The name James FitzGibbon struck terror in the hearts of U.S. soldiers and this is the dramatic story of his life and his daring exploits. Irish-born James FitzGibbon came to Canada with the 49th Regiment to serve under his hero, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock. After the death of Brock at Queenston Heights and the capture of Fort George in the War of 1812, FitzGibbon spied on the enemy encampment, disguised as a settler selling butter. Armed with his intelligence report, the British launched a surprise night attack, and the Americans were forced to retreat. With his hand-picked band of Green Tiger guerrillas, Fitz fought to stop the U.S. raiding parties. Laura Secord alerted him to an impending attack at Beaver Dams, and with his 50 men and the support of First Nations warriors, he bluffed the 500-strong American Army into surrender. Captain Fitz is full of action: battles on land and lakes, the burning of York (Toronto), the drama of 6,000 American soldiers moving downriver to attack Montreal, only to be defeated at Cryslers Farm. As well as the pageantry, theres the misery, suffering, and hunger for honour and glory all part of the War of 1812.

Canada on Fire

The War of 1812

Jennifer Crump

978-1-554887538 / $19.99

The summer of 1812 saw the beginning of one of the most brutal wars to take place on Canadian soil. With more than 1,600 people killed and a battlefront that extended from Halifax Harbour in Nova Scotia to the Columbia River in what is now British Columbia, the war featured many brave men and women who fended off much larger American forces.

Canada on Fire is an exciting account of the War of 1812 as told through the stories of the heroes who helped to defend Canada, people such as Mohawk chief John Norton, who led a small army into battle against the wishes of his tribe, and Red George Macdonnell, who spent the war defending the St. Lawrence River.

With descriptions of the battle at Lundys Lane, the adventures of the Sea Wolves, and the antics of James FitzGibbon and his Bloody Boys, Canada on Fire reveals the War of 1812 as it has seldom been seen.

Celebrated as the saviour of Upper Canada, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock was a charismatic leader who won the respect not only of his own troops, but also of the Shawnee chief Tecumseh and even men among his enemy. His motto could well have been speak loud and look big. Although this attitude earned him a reputation for brashness, it also enabled his success and propelled him into the significant role he would play in the War of 1812.

Introduction

Introduction

Captain Fitz is the story of a young Irishman, James FitzGibbon, who became a British soldier, an unlikely event, as the Irish mistrusted the English and the British Army did not accept Irish Catholics until 1799. Fitz was able to join in 1798, because his family had turned Protestant.

By 1812, he was a lieutenant, and in 1813 he was promoted to captain. In 1826, Fitz became colonel of the West York Militia Regiment of Canada.

For a poor Irish boy, the British Army was no easy road to success. To make it, he needed determination, skill, intelligence, and boundless energy, all of which he had. He would also need to educate himself with the help of Isaac Brock, he did.
