The Canadian Brothers; Or, The Prophecy Fulfilled: A Tale of the Late American War — Volume 1

"The Canadian Brothers; or, The Prophecy Fulfilled" by Major (John) Richardson is a story set during the War of 1812, during the escalating conflict between the British and Americans around Amherstburg. Notable people, including Tecumseh and high ranking military, participate in the war. In the fortresses and military encampments along the frontier, a sense of dread pervades the ranks and even the local population. The author paints a clear picture of the natural landscape as hostile armies gather. The stage is set when British officers and native warriors unite, and the courage of figures such as Tecumseh highlights larger themes of devotion, respect, and the complicated reality of war.
