Amazon.com description: Product Description: William âTigerâ Dunlop, army surgeon, soldier, politician, author (b at Greenock, Scotland, 19 Nov 1792; d at Côte-Saint-Paul 29 Jun 1848). Among the more colourful characters of the War of 1812, William âTigerâ Dunlop stands with the best. âTigerâ Dunlop served in the war as an army surgeon, where he earned a reputation as a tireless medical professional. While known as âdoctorâ to most, the nickname âTigerâ came, allegedly, from his service in India. Dunlop arrived in Upper Canada in 1813, where he was to serve as an assistant surgeon to the 89th Regiment of Foot. While en route from Montréal, he came upon the French Canadian sedentary militia on the march. He was impressed by their drill and physical stature, and believed no regular force would be much of a match for the hardy Canadians. Dunlop and the 89th soon had their own mettle tested at both the Battle of Cryslerâs Farm and the bloodiest battle of the war, Lundyâs Lane. Like most surgeons, Dunlop was armed with a gruesome tool kit to treat battlefield injuries.

About: The favourable reception of a small work on this colony has emboldened me again to come before the public in the character of an author, and as it is fifteen years since I last obtruded myself in that capacity, I have at least to boast of the merit assumed to himself by the sailor in his prayer, during a hurricane, "Thou knowest it is seldom that I trouble thee," and I may hope on the same grounds to be listened to.
