"Laura Secord, the heroine of 1812: A Drama; and Other Poems" by Sarah Anne Curzon is a historical drama and poetry collection written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the life of Laura Secord, a courageous woman who played a critical role during the War of 1812, particularly known for her daring trek through enemy territory to deliver crucial intelligence to British forces. The narrative seeks to not only honor her bravery but also highlight the often-overlooked contributions of women in history. The opening of the work provides a preface by the author, emphasizing the importance of remembering Canadian history and its heroes, particularly Laura Secord. Curzon expresses her dismay that many Canadians believe their country lacks historical significance, while there are numerous stories of heroism among the nation's pioneers. The narrative then details Laura's background and her family's loyalty during tumultuous times, setting the stage for her critical actions during the war. The prelude ultimately establishes Laura's character as one of deep patriotism and fortitude, foreshadowing her significant contributions that are further explored in the chapters that follow.
