| Summary |
Isaac Brock was born on Guernsey in the Channel Islands in 1769. As the son of a midshipman in the Royal Navy, he was not afforded an extensive formal education. He was, however, studious, and after joining the Royal Army rose quickly among its ranks. After obtaining the rank of Major, Brock was sent to Canada to take control of a British regiment. He faced several problems there, but somehow he foresaw the problems with the United States and made preparations. It was this preparedness that allowed him and his men to defend upper Canada and later capture Detroit. Sir Isaac Brock was killed in battle, but he is still widely considered to be one of the greatest Canadian heroes. |
