$20.00
Discover the hidden history of the 1866 Battle of Ridgeway, a seminal conflict where American Fenian insurgents invaded Canada. This meticulously researched account by Peter Vronsky uncovers how battle-hardened Irish-American Civil War veterans clashed with inexperienced Canadian student-volunteers, suffering significant casualties in what became Canada's first modern battle. The book delves into the politicization and distortion of this critical event and its pivotal role in forging Canada's sense of nationhood on the eve of Confederation.
