<P><EM>The Canadian Brothers</EM> combines all the excitement of a sentimental wilderness romance – mysterious and surprising occurrences, terrors by night and day, deadly combats, haunted minds, consuming passions – with an account of first-hand experiences during the War of 1812. </P> <P>The author, John Richardson (1796-1852), was a professional soldier but also the first man in the Candas who attempted to live on the monetary rewards of creative writing. He wrote a considerable amount of non-fiction, some poetry, and several novels, the most famous of which was Wacousta; or, The Prophecy: A Tale of the Canadas. This historical romance set in the Detroit-Amherstburg area in the 1760s made effective use of the ‘conspiracy’ of Pontiac, the Indian uprising of 1763.</P> <P><EM>The Canadian Brothers</EM>, originally published in 1840, is a sequel to Wacousta and takes up the family history about fifty years later, having its historical basis in Richardson’s own experience (and that of his brother) in the War of 1812.
