IT'S 1812 and rumours of war are
sweeping Upper Canada. But
fifteen-year-old Jeremy Fields has other
things on his mind -- like what to do
now that his parents are dead and he's
been swindled out of the family farm.
Angry and confused, Jeremy sets out
for the town of York, only to lose his
few remaining possessions -- and very
nearly his life -- when a bridge
collapses beneath his feet. Plucked
from the river by British soldiers,
Jeremy decides to join their regiment.
Before long, the farm boy from Upper
Canada becomes the personal servant
to the great military strategist General
Isaac Brock. Jeremy's War 1812 blends
historical fact with an exciting fictional
story of a boy caught up in the battle
to save Canada! -
