BOOK - To Stand and Fight Together, Richard Pierpoint and the Coloured Corps of Upper
Canada
By Steve Pitt.
In 1812, a 67-year-old black United Empire Loyalist named Richard Pierpoint helped raise a
corps of Coloured Men to stand and fight together� against the Americans who were
threatening to invade the tiny British colony of Upper Canada. Pierpoint�s unique fighting
unit would not only see service throughout the War of 1812, it would also be the first
colonial military unit reactiviated to quash the Rebellion of 1837. It would go on to
serve as a police force, keeping the peace among the competing Irish immigrant gangs
during the construction of the Welland Canal.

BOOK - Erin's Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada 1761-1853.
By Terrence M. Punch, FRSAI.
Despite the flow of Irish through Atlantic Canada, the early records of these immigrants
are fewer and less informative than those of New England and New York from the same
period. Erin�s Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada 1761-1853 goes a long way toward
rectifying this problem. Author Terrence M. Punch has combed through a wide-ranging and
disparate group of sources, including newspaper articles and advertisements, local
government documents and census records, church records, burial records, land records,
military records, passenger lists, and more to identify as many of these pioneers as
possible and disclose where they came from in the Old Country. These sources often contain
details that cannot be found in Irish records, where few census returns survived from
before 1901, and where Catholic records began a generation or more after their
counterparts in Atlantic Canada.
