f JEFFREY DRAWINGS #9 Laura Secord on her way warn the. British, 1813. By the spring of 1813 the Ameri- cans had finally won a cam- paign in the War of 1812-14. They took over the town of York in April and a month later went on to take Fort George at the junction of Lake Ontario and the Niag- ara River. Canada from the east now seemed within easy reach. "But a 700-man force of Canadian and British regu- 13rs followed the Americans to Stoney Creek near Hamil ton. There they routed the American camp and pressed on to Beaver Dam - near Severing Upper * a I I A I i i Queenston. The Americans decided to finish the Cana: dian force at Beaver Dam and 600 men were assigned to do the job. " However, before the plan: ned American attack, two American officers comman- deered a meal at the home of Loyalist James Secord. While the uninvited guests ate, they talked of the Beaver Dam plan. At sunrise the next morning 38year-old Laura Secord slipped out of the house and casually drove a cow past an American out- post. Then she hurried 12 miles through the backwoods to Beaver Dam where she was taken, tattered and ex: hausted, to Colonel James Fitzgibbon. out the story of the planned attack, but as it happened Fitzgibbon already knew of it. The Americans were am- bushed by Canadian Indians before they reached Beaver Dam. Nonetheless, the story of Laura Secord's brave journey to warn of the attack has be- come a Canadian legend.
