The Story of the Upper Canadian Rebellion, Volume 1
John Charles Dent, a Toronto journalist and historian, wrote The Story of the Upper Canadian Rebellion to tell the background and course of the rising of 1837 from original documents. This first volume deals with the long political struggle that preceded the fighting: the banishment of Robert Gourlay, the rule of the governing clique known as the Family Compact, the early reformers, the battles over a free press, the removal of Judge Willis, the case of Francis Collins and the parliamentary quarrels around William Lyon Mackenzie. Dent is openly skeptical of Mackenzie's reputation, and his chapters read as a vigorous argument as well as a chronicle. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
