- Summary
- "Canada and the United States, 1861: for over a century they were bad neighbors in a dangerous neighborhood. Having twice invaded the poorly defended British colonies known as Canada, Washington still coveted them. When the American Civil War erupted that April, Canada and Canadians were inevitably drawn into the fight. Through the stories of six fascinating people, Blood and Daring explores Canada's engagement in the Civil War and offers a fuller perspective of both the war and how the British colonies saved themselves by becoming a nation."--Jacket.
