Hemlock: A Tale Of The War Of 1812 is a historical novel written by Robert Sellar and first published in 1890. The book is set during the War of 1812, a conflict fought between the United States and Great Britain. The story follows the life of a young man named Hemlock, who lives in Upper Canada (now Ontario) and becomes involved in the war effort. Hemlock is a loyalist who supports the British cause and joins the local militia to defend his homeland against the American invaders. Along the way, he experiences the horrors of war, including battles, raids, and skirmishes, as well as the personal sacrifices and losses that come with it. The novel also explores the political and social tensions of the time, including the role of indigenous peoples in the conflict and the struggle for Canadian independence. Hemlock: A Tale Of The War Of 1812 is a vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in Canadian history, told through the eyes of a young man caught up in the midst of it all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
