Description

The city of Toronto was the frontier town of York in 1813 when it suffered its most traumatic day. American warships landed about 1800 soldiers, who marched upon the town, hoping to seize supplies and ships. A mighty explosion of the magazine ripped the earth open and killed the American General Zebulon Pike, and the British withdrew. Discipline broke down and gangs of invaders looted and burned public buildings. Malcomson explores the causes and results of the event and its place in the War of 1812.

Author Biography:

Robert Malcomson's books all won the John Lyman Book Award for Canadian maritime or naval history. To the great sorrow of his family, friends and historians of the War of 1812, Robert Malcomson died in 2009.
