SUMMARY:UEL Kawartha Branch September 2023 Meeting (Virtual): The Elizabeth Beard Story
DESCRIPTION:“Valiant Amazing: The Elizabeth Beard Story” by Andrew MacLean \nElizabeth Beard was a young Loyalist woman from Philadelphia who ultimately fought alongside her soldier husband during the Revolution. She was with him on a ship which was attacked\, and she manned the cannon\, tearing off parts of her dress to use as wadding. \nAfter that she went on land and was part of a partisan attack on a small group of Rebels. Later\, she popped up again\, in what is now Florida\, in a besieged fort\, again manning a cannon. After that she became a prisoner\, and was ultimately part of a swap at the end of the war. \nShe then sailed aboard the Martha from New York City to Nova Scotia.  The Martha became separated from the refugee fleet in heavy fog and crashed on a rock. She\, while heavily pregnant with triplets(!)\, was aboard a raft with sixty-some survivors and was rescued by fishermen\, giving birth on the beach. \nHer sons later fought in the War of 1812. \nIn person\, at Activity Haven\, Peterborough\, ON – email Bob McBride for details uelbob@nexicom.net. \nVia zoom\, Join Zoom Meeting   Meeting ID: 852 5540 8930\, Passcode: 721187

SUMMARY:UEL Kawartha Branch February 2023 Meeting (Virtual): Jean Rae Baxter on "The Knotted Rope"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring guest speaker\, Jean Rae Baxter\, UE\, who will be talking about her latest book\, The Knotted Rope. \nThe Knotted Rope\, the sixth and final novel in what has become known as the “Forging a Nation” series\, is set in Niagara in 1793 during the last days of slavery in Upper Canada. It returns to the subject of Jean Rae Baxter’s third historical\, Freedom Bound\, in which she told the story of the Black Loyalists’ escape from slavery during the American Revolution. In The Knotted Rope\, Jean Rae Baxter unravels another strand of the complicated\, sometimes tragic\, but ultimately victorious\, history of the fight to end slavery. \nIn this presentation\, she examines the paradox at the heart of writing responsible historical fiction. To honour our history\, we must be true to it. \nBut how can we tell the truth by means of made-up stories? That is the question. The answer\, she explains\, lies in the use of historical facts to trigger the action. The writer shows how people reacted to\, and were affected by\, actual events. Just such an event was The Proclamation of “An Act to Prevent the further Introduction of Slaves and to limit the Term of Contracts for Service Statutes of Upper Canada 33 George III.” \nThe Knotted Rope is available for purchase on Amazon.ca.
