Book excerpt: He figured he had walked about a mile and the tent was just a little bump far behind him when he saw something white gleaming through the grass up ahead. He couldn't imagine what it was. Pure white and smooth. Bigger than a bucket. Sam walked faster. Was it stone? Out here a white stone would seem as strange and as foreign as a seashell. But it wasn't a stone. It was a skull. The huge skull of an animal. An animal with horns. Like a bull, but not quite like a bull. Suddenly Sam knew it. It was a buffalo skull.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Acts of Courage, Connie Brummel Crook dramatizes the life of one of Canada's most enduring heroines, Laura Secord. From young Laura Ingersoll's early days in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, amidst the turmoil that followed the American Revolutionary War, the story outlines her father's difficult decision to move his family to Upper Canada. Laura's subsequent meeting and courtship with James Secord is described against the backdrop of homesteading in the Niagara Peninsula and of enduring the imminent threat of American invasion. These first sections of the book provide the background for Laura's courageous rescue of her husband from the battlefield at Queenston Heights, and her even more amazing trek to warn Col. FitzGibbon of the American's secret plans to attack the British outpost at Beaver Dams. Laura's extraordinary life, peopled with characters like Joseph Brant and Col. Fitzgibbon, is given even more poignancy and interest by the author's inventive and surprising characterization of the young FitzGibbon, by her acute eye for historical detail, and through her insights into the character of a young woman whose acts of courage have captured the imagination of generations of young Canadians.
