The Fenian Raid Of Fort Erie

The Fenian Raid of Fort Erie is a historical account of the battle that took place in June of 1866 in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. The book is written by George Taylor Denison Jr., a Canadian militia officer who was present during the battle. The Fenian Brotherhood, an Irish nationalist group, had been planning to invade Canada in order to pressure the British government to grant Ireland independence. On June 1, 1866, a group of Fenians crossed the Niagara River and attacked the town of Fort Erie. The Canadian militia, which was poorly equipped and poorly trained, was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. The Fenians were eventually repelled, but not before causing significant damage to the town. The book provides a detailed account of the battle, as well as the events leading up to it. It also includes information about the Battle of Ridgeway, which took place a few days later and resulted in another victory for the Fenians. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Canadian history, military history, or the history of Irish nationalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
