5.0 out of 5 stars With Nothing But Our Courage, May 27 2006
By E.G. Matthews "An Avid Reader" (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
With Nothing But Our Courage: The Loyalist Diary of Mary MacDonald is my favorite book in the Dear Canada series up to date.

Mary MacDonald and her Scottish family of her mother, father, grandmother, little brother Jamie, and baby sister Margaret are all Loyalists, or "Tories," the rude name that they were cruelly called and taunted by Patriots. The year is now 1783, and Mary and her family lives in fear of the Patriots in Albany, New York, now that America is free. One day, where the diary tarts, the school where Mary's father is a teacher at is burned down by Patriots. The MacDonalds are threatened, and are given a pass to make the tenuous journey through the forests and north of the border to England's territory of Canada, where they will be safe and provided for by England.

As an American, I was interesting to learn even more about the Loyalists in this book. Of course, I learned some from Dear America's Love Thy Neighbor, another Loyalist book, but this gave an interesting perspective. I never knew Loyalists fled to Canada if they had not already hightailed it to England before 1783. Karleen Bradford has done an excellent job of portraying the lives of Loyalists and the aftermath of the American Revolution.

Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book., Feb 2 2003
By Rebecca Herman (USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
As an American, I found it really interesting to read this book, about a Loyalist girl whose family has to flee to Canada after the British lose in the American Revolution, because it's not really a topic explored in many American books. Mary McDonald is a young girl who lives with her family in Albany, New York. But in 1783, after the American Revolution, the family is forced to leave their home just for supporting the British. The family decided to head for British Canada, but face many dangers along the way and in their new home. Mary describes it all in her diary. I highly reccomend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different View, Oct 20 2002
By A. Richardson "the book lady" (New England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those of us down in the States who were raised on one view of the American Revolution, this is a great way to introduce "the rest of the story". As a homeschool Mom, I've been trying to help my children understand the many differnt viewpoints of the war, and this book was an eye opener for my 11 year old. She read it in one sitting and came away with a deeper appreciation of what all the colonists had gone through during those troubled times.

Hooray for the Dear Canada series! We'll be reading the rest of them, as well!
