Some Famous Historic Figures










Isaac Brock, Tecumseh, Laura Secord, and Charles de Salaberry from the War of 1812











1. Isaac Brock
I checked the information from Google: Isaac Brock was 43 years old when he died defending Niagara from the American invasion at Queenston Heights on Oct. 13, 1812.
He loved to learn. He read many works on military tactics and science, but ancient history and other topics also interested him.













2.Tecumseh
Tecumseh was a Native American leader of the Shawnee and a large tribal confederacy. He  was born about March 1768.












3. Laura Secord
Laura Secord was a Canadian heroine of the War of 1812. She is known for having walked 20 miles out of American-occupied territory in 1813 to warn British forces of an impending American attack. Most Canadians associate her with the Laura Secord Chocolates company, named after her on the centennial of her walk.












4. Charles de Salaberry
Charles de Salaberry was a French-speaking Canadien of the seigneurial class who served as an officer of the British army in Lower Canada.
