| Description : | This is a statue of Laura Secord by Mildred Peel. In the late nineteenth century, Laura Secord (1775-1868) became celebrated as an important heroine of the War of 1812-1814, known for her walk from Queenston in June, 1813, to warn the British at Beaverdams of an impending American attack. Secord's commemorators included a number of woman hisotirans, such as Toronto's Sarah Curzon and St. Catharines' Emma Currie, as well as historical societies in the Niagara area and the Ontario Historical Society/ These groups campaigned to have monuments erected to her memory, the first at Lundy's Lane in 1901 and the second at Queenston Heights in 1910. |
