B The first edition of this Memoir was compiled in a very few weeks, amid other avocations, and while attending the sick bed of my father, who died shortly before its completion; and owing to this want of preparation, as well as to the difficulty of obtaining materials after the lapse or so many years, and at so great a distance from the scene of Sir Isaac Brock's principal labours, I candidly confess that it did not satisfy my own mind. But its publication having happily drawn forth much valuable matter, which in a few years would otherwise have been lost, it will be seen, from a very cursory perusal of this volume, that it is a great improvement on its predecessor, as several errors, topographical and others, arising from the cause just mentioned, have been corrected - many additional letters from Sir Isaac Brock are introduced, while a few others to him of little interest are omitted - and some new and graphic anecdotes and incidents are interwoven in the course of the narrative. Part of the new matter may, however, appear to the general reader as uninteresting and superfluous; but, conceiving that every detail, relating to the progress of a colony from its infant state, possesses a local and statistical value, I have thought such data worthy of being preserved.

This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Summary of the Life of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock Baltic. Britain determined to make a mighty effort to or capture these fleets and to the A powerful fleet of thirty-three vessels was fitted out. Sir Hyde Parker and Lord Nelson were in command and Colonel Brock was second-in-command of the land forces. But the Danes offered so fierce a resistance that the landing had to be given up, and the infantry remaining on the decks of the vessels were subjected to very severe gun fire to which they could make no reply. At the close of the battle Brock accompanied Captain Freemantle to the Elephant, Nelson's flagship, where he saw the hero write his celebrated letter to the Crown Prince of Denmark. It ran as follows: Lord Nelson has directions to spare Denmark when no longer resisting; but if the firing is continued on the part of Denmark, Lord Nelson will be obliged to set on fire all the floating batteries he has taken without having the power to save the brave Danes who have defended them. Brock may have taken a hint from this famous message. At any rate it closely resembles the message he sent later to General Hull, in Detroit. In the spring of 1802 the 49th Regiment was ordered to make ready to go to Canada. They set sail from England in June, and after weeks of unusually stormy weather for the summer season arrived at Quebec. The vast river St. Lawrence, opening into the heart of the continent, the miles and miles of forest, growing thick to the shores, the strong natural fortress at Quebec, crowned by defences that had experienced four protracted sieges, must have impressed Brock with the vastness of the country to which this was but the gateway. For a short period he remained at the capital of Canada, but the 49th was destined for Upper Canada, now Ontario, and to that wilderness, as he thought it, it was necessary he should go. On his arrival was faced with a problem most trying to any military leader. The monotonous life in the colony was distaste ful to soldiers, -especially to those who were accustomed to the city life and pleasures of the old land, and desertions were common. The men were frequently tempted to take this course by inducements held out to them by citizens of the United States, and, as it was easy at frontier posts for a deserter to slip across the border unobserved, it was needful to keep a close watch on the men. Brock learned that desertion was common in Canada, and at once took the matter in hand in order to prevent such a thing happening in the 49th. He tried, by treating his men with exceptional kindness, to make them content with their lot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Astonishing General written by Wesley B. Turner and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2011 OHS Donald Grant Creighton Award This book is about Major General Sir Isaac Brock (1769 - October 13, 1812). It tells of his life, his career and legacy, particularly in the Canadas, and of the context within which he lived. One of the most enduring legacies of the War of 1812 on both the United States and Canadian sides was the creation of heroes and heroines. The earliest of those heroic individuals was Isaac Brock who in some ways was the most unlikely of heroes. For one thing, he was admired by his American foes almost as much as by his own people. Even more striking is how a British general whose military role in that two-and-a-half-year war lasted less than five months became the best known hero and one revered far and wide. Wesley B. Turner finds this outcome astonishing and approaches the subject from that point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Isaac Brock Saag brock was born on the little island of Guernsey, in the year 1769, the year in which the great Napoleon and the equally great Wellington were born. The Brock family was an old one, being able to trace its descent from the days of William the Conqueror. It had produced many military and naval heroes, and stories of their daring deeds no doubt thrilled young Isaac Brock, who as a child looked forward to entering the English army. The lads of Guernsey were hardy and daring, and Brock was one of the sturdiest of them. He was a famous boy boxer and was the best swimmer among the lads of his time. He loved reading and delighted in books deal ing with great battles and great soldiers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
