Download or read book Rebellion written by Marianne Brandis and published by Erin, Ont. : Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Wheeler is a fourteen year-old who arrives in Toronto in the autumn of 1837 after crossing from England on a filthy and crowded immigrant ship. He has emigrated in company with his uncle's family, but, once in Upper Canada, he quarrels with his uncle and sets out on his own. Adam finds work in a paper mill at the village of Todmorden on the banks of the Don River. Adam soon learns that William Lyon Mackenzie is mounting a rebellion. When the uprising begins, he is drawn into the conflict both because his employer sends him to deliver paper to the rebel camp at Montgomery's Tavern, and also because his uncle joins Mackenzie's force. Among those Adam befriends are two teenage girls, Cornelia and Charlotte de Grassi. These historical figures, aged thirteen and fourteen at the time, served as spies and messengers for the government side during Mackenzie's Rebellion. Although this book is a work of fiction, it is solidly based on real history. The events of the 1837 Rebellion have been carefully researched and are presented as accurately as possible. Captain and Mrs de Grassi and their daughters, and several other characters, were real people and, improbable as it may seem, the girls' work as spies and messengers during the rebellion days is fully authenticated. When it comes to presenting human beings however, historical documents are usually uninformative. To bring the characters to life, the author has invented certain scenes and details, all of which she based carefully on what she learned about the de Grassi family, and on the life and circumstances of the time.
Download or read book Jeremy Kane written by Sidney Allinson and published by Princeton, N.J. : Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Note: In telling this tale, I hope to portray some of the most crucial events in Canadas passage to nationhood. Though my main aim is to simply entertain, I also wish to build new appreciation of the Mackenzie rebellion as something more than a flash-in-the-pan. Brief, almost laughable at times, as that uprising is often dismissed today, in reality it involved more than enough blood-letting and suffering by those gallant men and women of 1837 and for years after. It is particularly challenging to a writer to attempt to describe for a modern audience the often callous and primitive society which existed just 160 years ago. Many bizarre or savage details in this story which may appear to be exaggeration on my part actually happened. In fact, the original circumstances were so grim that sometimes I had to tone them down, if anything. However, all details of contemporary attitudes, military events, politics, penal colonies, and aboriginal life at the time are as accurate as painstaking research can ensure. Although Jeremy Kane, Renard, Hardacre, the Van Wycks, and many other characters are fictional, they are shown among actual events and real individuals. No historical personage is made to say or do anything contrary to his or her known beliefs, and as much as possible I let them speak in their own recorded words. Sidney Allinson, Victoria, B.C., Canada.

Book excerpt: Rebellion is brewing. Fifteen-year-old Jamie MacPherson is confused. Everyone seems to want change but can't agree as to how that change should come about. William Lyon Mackenzie is calling the people of Upper Canada to arm themselves and break free of British rule, and Jamie's friends and neighbours are all for joining Mackenzie and his army. His father is dead set against violence of any sort and has tried to pass that along to his son. Will Jamie follow his father's wishes and stay home or will he go along with popular opinion and join the rebels? Join Jamie as he struggles with the political issues surrounding the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. About the Author Mary Hosmar is a retired teacher who has spent many years in the classroom passing on her love of history to her students. She feels that one of the best ways to instill this love is to make history come alive by relating the stories around the facts. Although A Matter of Conscience deals with a small episode of Canadian history, it also addresses the conflict within when one's principles may not coincide with those of one's parents. Mary lives in Oshawa with her husband, John.
