GUNS ACROSS THE RIVER

Written by: Donald E Graves

The bloody battle of the Windmill is bought to life in Graves' brilliant account of a forgotten invasion attempt of Canada. Set after the risings of 1838 in Canada, he charts how the organisation (Terroists essentially) called the Patriot Hunters attempted to create an Alamo of the North and the hodgepodge force of Canadians/Indians and British troops (essentially just Irish and Scottish Highlanders) manage to defeat them after 5 days of bloody fighting.
