Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the life of Lieutenant Edward Baines, a member of the Royal Artillery, who perished while valiantly combating a devastating fire in Quebec City in 1866. The catastrophe claimed seven lives and ravaged numerous structures, leaving countless homeless. Lieutenant Baines' courageous actions to halt the blaze's ruthless advance, particularly his selfless efforts to preserve the General Hospital Convent, earned him widespread admiration and gratitude. The author vividly recounts the Lieutenant's heroic endeavors and the outpouring of grief that followed his untimely demise. Through meticulous research, the author masterfully contextualizes the tragedy within the broader historical framework of Quebec City and sheds light on the social and political circumstances that shaped the Lieutenant's life and legacy. This book not only serves as a moving tribute to a fallen hero but also offers a poignant exploration of courage, sacrifice, and the profound impact of individual actions in the face of adversity.
