The author lists the men who fought, the dead, and the wounded. Several doctors were named that doctored the wounded for both sides. Prisoners of war were treated properly by each side - Canadian and Fenian. It is reported that the Canadian volunteers fought bravely even though they were vastly outnumbered. I am fascinated by this story and was surprised to see a "Dr. Downie" mentioned.

I finished The Fenian Raid of 1868 and have read the first four chapters of The Fenian Raid of 1870. My eyes are sleepy, so must stop reading for the night.

The Fenian Raid cost Canada precious lives and great expenditure. It demonstrated that Canadians were loyal and patriotic and were true to their flag and the freedom it symbolized. Canadians were capable of protecting themselves, and were ready at all times to do their duty to defend their native land. It taught them "a lesson in self-reliance.
