Laura Secord 

Laura bravely set out alone, taking a winding path through rugged, unforgiving terrain to evade American sentries. Along the way, she received crucial assistance from a group of First Nations men, who helped guide her through the wilderness. At last, she reached Lieutenant James FitzGibbon at his headquarters, located in the home of John De Cou.

​

Following her courageous journey, Laura Secord and Rebecca Biggar formed a deep and lasting friendship.

 

 

According to legend, "it took her approximately 17 hours to travel the distance to warn James FitzGibbon of the impending American attack.
