Under the leadership of Louis-Joseph Papineau, the French citizens of Canada made an attempt, like their American neighbors of sixty years before, to overthrow their British overlords and to establish a republic. This book tells of the individuals involved, both French-Canadian and British, and the actions which lead to, and occurred during, this abortive rising. ; B&W Photographs; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 226 pages .
