Bold, brave, and born to lead : Major General Isaac Brock and the Canadas /Mary Beacock Fryer.

"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."--Provided by the publisher.
