LAURA SECORD
(1775-1868)
This celebrated heroine of the War of
1812 is a renowned figure in Canadian
History. Determined to warn the British of
an impending attack on Beaver
Dams, Secord set out from her home on
June 22, 1813, on a dangerous mission.
She traveled alone for over 30 kilometres
behind enemy lines, struggling to make
it to the De Cew farmhouse, where
she informed Lieutenant FitzGibbon
about the American plan. Later in
the 19th century, a first generation of
women historians championed Secord's
courageous deed with the goal of
uncovering and popularizing women's
contributions to the history of Canada.

Cette célèbre héroïne de la guerre
de 1812 est une figure marquante de
l`histoire du Canada. Déterminée à
prévenir les Britanniques d`un imminent
assaut américain à Beaver Dams, Secord
quitta son foyer, le 22 juin 1813, pour
accomplir une mission périlleuse. Elle
franchit seule plus de 30 kilomètres
derrière les lignes ennemies, parvenant
à grand-peine à la ferme De Cew où elle
informa le lieutenant FitzGibbon des
plans d`attaque américains. Plus tard au
XIXe siècle, une première génération
d`historiennes célébra ce courageux
exploit afin de faire reconnaître l`apport
des femmes à l`épopée canadienne.
